We’re pleased to welcome Pierre Deburaux to the EMEA Recruitment podcast. As the VP Finance at Coty, this business and finance podcast episode discusses the qualities that teams must possess, the challenges faced by professionals, and where Pierre believes the future of finance is heading.

“I’m an open book on everything I’ve learnt so far.”

Not only does Pierre describe the dimensions that he feels are key in his career, but he also reveals how he overcomes the challenges faced to live his life, making this an insightful podcast for finance professionals. 

Listening to Pierre, it’s no surprise that chefs are some of his greatest sources of inspiration. He explains the recipe needed to overcome challenges in the corporate finance world and how to find the right ingredients.
