"The INTERLANGUE GROUP, Inc. and "DANELLE DANN INTERNATIONAL INC.",   heretofore and hereafter referred to as 'Interlangue' , founded in 1980 and 1991 respectively  by DANELLE DANN,  present our clients with one of the few executive search firms privately held.

              Since 'Interlangue's' genesis,  the firm has steadily focused on senior assignments on behalf of the foreign banks in New York.  Areas of specialty have been General Management, Corporate Finance, Treasury, Logistics, VaR, Risk Management, Asset & Liability Management et al.

              As of 2011, while working in Geneva, Switzerland we have been priviledged to win assignments in  the theoretical field of Treasury conducted by well known Eurpean  Research Institutes:  sometimes with focus on the EU, and sometimes with interest in both sides of the Atlantic.

              Assignments recently  concluded   outside the U.S.,  have been in countries such as Germany, Switzerland,  and the U.K.,  and  have been exclusively in the area of Treasury.  Apart from a substantive educational background,  a  high degree of specificity for their respective fields has been required.

              While we continue the 'business march' alongside our long-standing banking clientele, we are delighted to add the theoretical/research  dimension to our efforts.

              After 30 years in this marketplace, the current environment continues to represent  a 'sui generis' crisis for us as a firm given, among other unprecedented difficulties, the syndrome of downward mobility, reduced compensation, et al. The period starting in 2008 has seen our firm struggle with issues entirely new to us. We had hoped that in 2012 we would witness a somewhat ameliorated environment: this seems to have materialised somewhat, judging by one index, the Dow Jones, which reached the 13 000 point for the first time(albeit for a short period) since the beginning of the crisis.

              Q1, despite seemingly limited potential at its beginning was concluded on a stronger note for our firm than originally anticipated.

              Not withstanding any of the above,  the European sovereign debt crisis  has been  brought into sharp focus by the launching of a EU inquiry into Derivatives:  in this case, specifically the modus operandi of Credit Default Swaps. Months later,  the only visible result is the increase in the  the cost of insuring them.

                The potential implication of their being a contributing factor to the current sovereign debt crisis, traded by some of the best known names in European banking,  serves to add the Credit Default Swaps to the  existing list of exotic trading instruments with egregious consequences to the financial markets. Such factors,  a degree of international tension  only  serve to further affect a firm such as ours.

              With a presence both in  New York  and in Geneva,  our current activity  has expanded from pure Treasury trading assignments to the theoretical side;  perhaps a clarion-like symbol of recovery?!

              We are delighted furthermore that,  given the somewhat unusual,  strictly private ownership  of this firm, a number of European universities have added our name to their Internship Syllabus.  As a result, a few graduate students working towards their respective PhD theses  have elected to spend their internship months with us in Geneva.

              Irrespective of current market conditions, we are always pleased and grateful to hear from our clients and friends about  previous times or places shared over more than thirty years.  Given the priviledged and confidential  nature of our communications,  we do not  participate in social media.
