A few words

Hi, welcome to my website francoisqi.com
My name is François Qi. I am passionate about new technologies and Finance. Everyday, I rely on technology to understand what is behind the numbers and make the right decisions. After working several years in the high tech industry for multinationals like Orange, Apple or Samsung, I made ​​my way to the financial world at EY, as a Financial Controller. After completion of my studies at ESSEC, I now work for PwC as a Financial Controller.
