Amel has the recipe!
When you listen to Amel her voice lets through a warmth and an energy reminiscent of the sun.
And among all the possibilities, that of Tunisia appears as obvious since her life begins under its warm skies. A happy childhood, she’s a bright student. Good at math and attracted to science subjects, Amel will get closer to other stars thanks to to her passion for astronomy. In high school, the Jeunes Science [Youth Science] association organizes outings that will leave a mark on her. Theoretical exercises during the day, practical cases in the evening with observation of the sky and the constellations. For her it is an enchantment. To talk about it today, it’s still a delight.

Amel has the recipe!
When you listen to Amel her voice lets through a warmth
and an energy reminiscent of the sun.
And among all the possibilities, that of Tunisia appears as
obvious since her life begins under its warm skies. A happy
childhood, she’s a bright student. Good at math and
attracted to science subjects, Amel will get closer to other
stars thanks to to her passion for astronomy. In high school,
the Jeunes Science [Youth Science] association organizes
outings that will leave a mark on her. Theoretical exercises
during the day, practical cases in the evening with
observation of the sky and the constellations. For her it is an
enchantment. To talk about it today, it’s still a delight.

Baccalauréat [High School diploma] in hand, towards Tunis for her university
studies. It will be the IHEC [High Institute for Economics and Commercial Studies] in
the accounting expertise department. There, she run by chance into a friend of the
JS association. They do not will leave each other anymore. The friend has a boyfriend
who has the good idea of having a brother. He will become Amel’s husband and will
be at the origin of her departure for France. Just like Amel, he is a computing
enthusiast. However, the structures and level of equipment of Tunisia do not suit
Amel, always in search of new knowledge and technological learning.
Amel is full of hope, that's the meaning of her first name.
Change of climate
Used to being surrounded by her relatives, by the very Tunisian benevolence of her
friends and colleagues, arriving in Paris in 1993 reveals a new, much colder universe.
Isolated, forced to make ends meet, with a husband who is very busy in R&D, Amel
goes back to study. She obtains a DEA [In-depth Studies Degree ou bien Masters] in
finance at Jussieu university while doing odd jobs left and right. Her philosophy of
life rewards her. She knows that hardships can turn into riches. She wants to
constantly discover, seeking to improve professionally and broaden the field of her
centers of interest.
With a wealth of experience in auditing and other positions of responsibility, her CV
becomes richer and richer. Her culinary knowledge too. A new passion is born.
After that of accounting, she sets for herself the challenge of new recipes.
Among her prides, the veal blanquette, the Navarin lamb stew, without forgetting
the rabbit with mustard that she adds to the couscous of Sundays and holidays.
Welcome to Leipzig!
Another trait of Amel is her attraction to international environments. CFO in a
software company, subsidiary of a German group in Leipzig, she travels a lot.
For ten years, great people surround her. Colleagues from everywhere are
becoming friends with whom she keeps in touch. After a few years, the company
changes systems and switches to the Dynamics AX ERP. Amel becomes then
responsible for the France project. After its deployment, Amel chooses to go into
consulting. She meets the future management team of FiveForty°. It clicks with
each of them. Amel will find them all later. In May 2019, she joins FiveForty° as a
senior finance consultant. Maciré, Ahmed and Théo are already at work.
Later on, Hervé will join them.
Like a family
She, coming from the profession is very quickly at ease with the accounting and
financial auditors of the customer. At FiveForty°, she loves the human qualities that
brighten the atmosphere. Amel appreciates here as well the sharing. That of values,
experiences, state of mind and good times like the Christmas dinners. "In this
environment, we feel strong with this cement that unites us. We are like a family",
adds Amel. When something goes wrong, Amel says so. "Everyone is always
available, and I haven't experienced this everywhere. These are recognized experts,
very solid in finance. Serious without taking themselves seriously", she laughs.
Between her professional and personal life, Amel has always managed to find her
balance. As a perfect cook, she doses at the most exact the appeal of the one and
the charm of the other. Speaking of the Moon, Amel does not forget about her
passion for astronomy, the Big Bang, or the Race to the Stars. Like this Tunisian
sun that shines at the heart of the constellation of her memories and makes her
confident in her future.°
