While French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been comfortably leading polls for April’s presidential election first round, things are a lot less clear for the run-off that will ultimately decide the race in May.
Former economy minister Emmanuel Macron has appeared as a possible winner in several recent polls.
In a former life, Macron was an investment banker at Rotschild & Cie. In 2012, he was on the team of deal-makers who clinched the sale of Pfizer’s infant formula business to Nestlé for €9bn.
