Hi, I’m Narjis El Harim, a finance professional with front-office experience, strong knowledge of operational processes, and a client-focused mindset. I have five years of internal audit experience, leading assignments and managing cross-cultural teams in international contexts across multiple business lines within Natixis and the BPCE group. I’m known for my analytical mindset, problem-solving skills, and the ability to translate complex findings into practical actions that strengthen governance and risk management. In parallel, I built a versatile front-office track record in structured export finance and trade solutions, while cultivating an entrepreneurial side project: a Paris-based dance initiative launched in 2022. This has sharpened my project management, partnerships development, and strategic planning capabilities, and reinforced my ability to adapt quickly, lead teams, and deliver results in dynamic environments.
