Appointment within the Societe Generale Group
Societe Generale announces the appointment of Benoit Grisoni as Deputy Head of French Retail Banking, Private Banking and Insurance, in charge of individual and professional clients.
Benoit Grisoni will report to Lubomira Rochet, Executive Vice President in charge of Retail Banking activities in France, Private Banking and Insurance, as well as the Group's Chief Operating Office, and will oversee our individual and professional client business, effective 1 October 2026. He will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of BoursoBank.
This appointment is part of the Group's strategic ambition to develop a more integrated approach to the French retail market for individuals, as announced today during its Capital Markets Day. The objective is to further leverage the strengths of its unique retail banking model based on the complementarity of BoursoBank (the leading online bank in France) with the SG network (the fourth largest national player), Societe Generale Private Banking (the second largest private banking player in France) and Societe Generale Assurances (a leading player in France).
In a rapidly changing French market, with an increasingly digitized and polarized banking offering, our ambition is to meet even better the expectations of our different types of clients by offering them more segmented value propositions adapted to their needs, while opening up new growth potential for the Group.
Slawomir Krupa, the Group’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am very pleased to announce Benoit Grisoni's new role alongside Lubomira Rochet as we shape the future of our entire French retail banking business for the benefit of our individual clients. With BoursoBank, the SG network and Societe Generale Private Banking, the Societe Generale Group has unique and complementary strengths that we intend to combine more effectively to address all our clients' needs while delivering flawless execution. Benoit's contribution as head of BoursoBank, his strong culture of efficiency and his deep client focus will be invaluable assets in implementing a coherent and optimized vision and strategy. Our objective is to offer each client segment an adapted service offering and, for the Group, a production cost corresponding to the profitability of each of these segments."
