About

Aymeric Flamant has an impressive academic background holding a Master’s Degree in both business law and public-private partnerships as well as an executive diploma from Wharton University. After graduating he worked with law firms in France and the USA, equipping him with skills that would boost his career in-house which is fully vested with AXA. ‘Aymeric has taken the best of both private practice and the in-house lawyer. He is an outstanding lawyer, including in respect of technical matters’. Initially joining as the head of the corporate legal group, in charge of M&A, contracts and litigation his promotion came in 2012 where he was fully trusted with all legal undertakings as general counsel. A testament to his leadership to an estimated 70-strong team, nominators are not shy of praising his management with one source stating: ‘Seen from the outside, he seems to manage his team very well and lets them own their matters, and therefore has a very stable team and certainly one of the best in-house legal teams among investment managers in Paris’. For his ability to ‘swiftly identify the key issues and knows where to focus attention and time’ it comes as no surprise that Flamant sits on the Audit and Risk Committee as secretary and is also Board Secretary of AXA Investment Managers, some of its subsidiaries and AXA Real Estate. Sources state that he is ‘very reactive and easy to work with, always with relevant and well-grounded decisions’. ‘Aymeric is not only an outstanding counsel with remarkable legal skills, but is also a great project manager and team leader in the challenging legal and regulatory environment the investment management business faces every day’.
