From 16 May, Luchet will be responsible for overseeing AXA IM Prime’s sustainability strategy including the integration of environmental, social and governance in investment decision making, funds and asset managers selection, as well as in the reporting and product design.
She joins AXA from risk and compliance consultancy ACA, where she was heading up the ESG strategy for Europe and UK since 2022, advising private markets investors from the US, the UK and Europe on their ESG strategy and regulatory and reporting requirements.
Luchet worked at the UN’s Principles for Responsible Investment between 2016 and 2022, first as head of France and southern Europe in the investor relations team and then as director of continental Europe.
