Delphine Coutable, leader of Poupées Russes :
« For Les Poupées Russes the merger with the DPS Group is a very good opportunity to accelerate growth and widen the field of intervention of the agency by relying on the complementary professions of DPS (CRM, social networks) to provide 360 ° responses to luxury brands. Beyond the development opportunities, it is a real human encounter. Largillière Finance made the connection with two sides with great professionalism and a remarkable capacity of adaptation. Present at all stages, Largillière Finance created the conditions for the success of the operation with rigor, commitment and situational intelligence. I thank Thomas Bureau and the Largillière team for allowing this operation, which constitutes a key stage in the development of Les Poupées Russes. »
