About Gilles
Gilles moved to the UK in 1996, spending nine years at Legal & General, finishing as a business development manager in London. In 2008, he became a financial planning consultant at Leprêtre & Partners LLP, which was acquired by Alexander Beard Group in 2014.
In 2010, Gilles returned to France to work as a cross-border adviser at Fern Hill, later acquired by KMH Gestion Privée. After a brief role at a French bank in 2015, he helped establish Alexander Beard (France) SAS as a joint venture.
Since 2017, Gilles has divided his time between our head office – specialising in cross border advice, both in France and in the UK to our extensive French client base in London – and our office in Lyon where he has spearheaded our cross border pension product EUVEST.

A fun fact about Gilles
In September 2020, Gilles entered a tennis club tournament in singles, men’s doubles and mixed, and he won all three finals on the same day!

I want to thank Gilles for his support and availability throughout the lengthy and sometimes frustrating process, due to the inflexibility of the pension funds.
His advice and recommendations were very useful to help me navigate this complex system and complete the paperwork.
