It only took five months to Daniel Button to return to the economic scene. After his resignation from his position as President of Societe Generale in late April in a particularly tense atmosphere marked by the Kerviel affair and the scandal of stock options, the former tax inspector has launched his own consulting firm based The newspaper Les Echos.

With a capital inmate in full by its founder, the consulting company "European vocation" has already concluded a first contract with the investment bank Rothschild & Cie in Europe, outside France, according to Les Echos.

This transaction has been facilitated by the proximity between Daniel Bouton and Francois Henrot, head of Rothschild, which had supported its counterpart particularly during periods of controversy as the former director of Societe Generale had been through.
