"The willingness to learn, evolve, meet and cooperate with people to deliver results I wouldn’t be able to deliver alone." Ugo Kromer - Junior Tax Consultant - Deloitte Luxembourg
Hello Ugo, can you briefly introduce yourself?
Hey, my name is Ugo Kromer, I’m 26 years old and I’m a Franco-German citizen, currently working as a Junior Tax Consultant at Deloitte Luxembourg. I like playing and watching football, spending time with my favorite people and cooking. 😊
What are the advantages of having this dual nationality?
Well, especially in Luxembourg, it is quite convenient to be able to communicate in both languages as these are both the administrative ones of the country. Further, in my opinion, knowing different cultures helps to perceive some situations from different angles.
What is your academic and professional background?
I started studying Business Administration at the ISFATES, which is a cooperation between the Université de Lorraine and the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes offering integrated study program in several fields of study.
Subsequently, I decided to deepen my knowledge in the field of finance. Thus, I started a Master’s Degree at the same institution in Management Sciences with focus on International Finance. To complete my study program, I did my final year internship in Luxembourg, where I got the opportunity to be taken over after completion.
Why did you choose to work in Luxembourg?
For different reasons.
"First, because Luxembourg is one of the most important financial hub in Europe known for its expertise, which I perceived as an opportunity to develop my technical skills."
Further, I enjoy evolving in an international environment and, there, Luxembourg presents amazing opportunities.
Last but not least, since both German and French are official languages, I saw this as an opportunity to take advantage of both languages coming to Luxembourg.
Which company do you work for?
Deloitte Luxembourg within the Tax department and more precisely in Cross-Border Taxation.
Can you tell us a little bit about Deloitte?
It is a provider for (mainly) financial services (audit, tax, consulting) with a worldwide presence throughout its network.

Since there is an incredible amount of nations represented in Luxembourg, I definitely think that it can be an advantage.
