Meeting with Laurence Castellotti, Functional Analyst at Talan Luxembourg

In this employee testimonial, Laurence Castellotti looks back on her career, her daily life as a Functional Analyst and her missions at Talan.

 

Could you briefly introduce yourself?

I have a DUT in Information Technology from the Université of Information Technology in Metz. I worked in a call center for a company managing credit card payments (Visa, Eurocard, Mastercard) and started consulting in 2000 in an IT consultancy company where I integrated the IT department on Oracle PL/SQL developments. I deepened my knowledge in PL/SQL and I gained full functionnal skills and experience in both finance and insurance.  Six years ago, I began learning the Private Equity sector in which I still work today as a Functional Analyst.

 

What was your prior mission as a Functional Analyst ?

I worked in a Swiss private bank, where I was the FIA / eFront technical advisor. I had a role of "facilitator" between the different business entities for a better handling of FIA and a more serene use of the system. I also worked with the Transfer agent / Funds admin / supports / developer teams to finalize the reconciliation between the previous system (FIC) and the new system (FIA).

 

What makes up your skills set?

  • Technical: my background in Oracle development, Windev, and eFront
  • Functional: my various projects on bank payments, fund administration, agent transfer, tax reporting, the private equity, real estate and the non-life insurance.
