Read an interview with Jean Fell

Q: “Please tell us about your education.”
A:   “I was born into a family of business people. My parents nearly always talked business, which triggered my interest in economics; that's why I studied economics in France.”

 

Q: “What did growing up in that context teach you?”
A: “[My parents] were really a nice team. That explains the success of their business. It’s very important for United—it’s very important to be a team.”

 

Q: “What happened after that?”
A:   “I joined a firm. That firm became KPMG. [I was] in charge of a small team of accountants and tax advisors, mainly handling small-  and medium-sized business. After eight years, I left for a major KPMG client, a bank. I became head of accounting, did that for eight  years…then I became head of the investment-fund business at that bank.”

 

Q: “Why did you join United?”
A:  “To be flexible. To get things done. To spend time with the client.”
