Guillaume Lévy-Lambert

Portrait of Guillaume Lévy-Lambert

Graduating with a M.Sc. in management from HEC Paris in 1982 at the young age of 20, Guillaume's career path was launched in 1984 with Paribas Asset Management, today BNP Paribas. After a year managing European equities, Guillaume moved on to assume the role of deputy head of Asian equities. His business acumen and resourcefulness were quickly recognised and in the following decade, his expertise was much sought after in the Asian cities of Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Having worked extensively in the East, growing markets and businesses, I found the value proposition of Miroma Ventures very relevant to this part of the world. Miroma Ventures has a global vision and the drive and dedication to nurture its group companies and help them expand globally.

By 1995, Guillaume was co-head of Asian private banking and institutional management, with a team of 200 under him. After thirteen years of bringing value to the financial sector, Guillaume was ready for a change that would allow him to fully tap into his creative resources. This came in the form of advertising giant Publicis. Under his direction, Publicis developed an impressive network spanning fifteen countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

Guillaume's talent in this field was equally apparent winning him accolades including the Media Magazine award for most notable head of an Asian advertising network, in 2004, and Publicis Asia runner-up network of the year for four consecutive years from 2004 to 2007. When he left in 2007 he had built up a network in 60 Asian cities, as well as major partnerships with L'Oréal, Nestlé, HP and Citibank. Maurice Levy, Publicis Group Chairman and CEO, said: 'Guillaume masterfully and fearlessly built our presence.' After leaving Publicis, Lévy-Lambert founded Tyna, a talent management agency which he is continuing to develop from his home base in Singapore.
