25 years in the performance chain · Master’s in Entrepreneurship & Strategy · Université Paris-Dauphine

David Laup has spent more than twenty-five years at the heart of asset managers’ performance chain: measurement, attribution, risk and reporting. He knows every part of it, from market data to portfolio commentary, and knows what makes a figure right, or wrong.

In 2016 he founded Virtual Beehive on one conviction: capital markets firms deserve consultants who have done the job themselves. Since then he has led PMAR chain overhauls, tool selections and transformation programmes for asset managers, banks and insurers in France, Switzerland and the Benelux. He also leads VB Labs, the firm’s research lab.
