Will bankers choose gelato, eclairs, or flan?

France is positioning itself to take advantage of Brexit.
“We want to make Paris Europe’s top financial center”, say top French officials.

Following the Brexit, London’s banking business finds itself looking for a more “suitable” home.
And French authorities are more than happy to offer favorable tax incentives.

They are ready to roll out the red carpet for financial institutions looking to relocate in France.

Paris is not the only one trying to capitalize on Brexit.
Milan and Madrid are also courting London’s financial firms.
Each offering attractive tax breaks among other incentives.

The London bankers will soon start weighing their options.

What would I do if I were in their shoes?
I would consider carefully all the offers.
Then I would think of “equally” important factors.

Tapas, olives, and flan.
Cheese, crusty baguettes, and eclairs.
Lasagna, pizza, and gelato.

Decisions, decisions : )

Mariana worked on both, the east and the west coast.
Big or small, each project she worked on helped define the importance of gaining and sustaining a competitive edge in an increasingly complex business environment.
