Philippe Oddo, Managing Partner of ODDO BHF, commented: "I am delighted that Isabel Jahn, an exceptional executive specializing in human resources management, has chosen to join our Group. With her 25 years of experience in the field of human resources as well as in finance and consulting, she is a major asset for ODDO BHF. Thanks to her excellent knowledge of French, she also brings a new Franco-German profile to the GMC".

Isabel Jahn adds: "I am very honoured to be able to bring my expertise to ODDO BHF and contribute to the Group's success in Europe. I am looking forward to the tasks ahead and to shaping, together with the excellent HR teams in Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich and Tunis, ODDO BHF's People & Culture strategy. Our ambition is to develop HR and talent management in line with the Group's growth ambitions, and to further strengthen the perception and attractiveness of ODDO BHF.”

Isabel Jahn will be taking over from Aurore van der Werf, who has decided to leave the Group to focus on a new project. Aurore van der Werf joined the Group in 2010 as Head of HR Development.

She successfully built up our current HR department, first in France, then in Germany, Tunisia and Switzerland. I have enjoyed a very trusting relationship with Aurore over all these years, and I wish her all the best for the future and every success in her new project".
