(Reuters) – Slawomir Krupa, who will take up his post as head of Societe Generale in May, revealed on Thursday the composition of his future management team, including the recruitment of Anne-Christine Champion as co-director of the investment bank.

The management team will have 13 members against 27 previously and seven of them will be women, Slawomir Krupa said in a conference call with reporters.

Aged 48, the new CEO of Société Générale currently heads the group’s corporate and investment banking. He will be replaced in this position by Anne-Christine Champion and Alexandre Fleury, who will both be co-directors of wholesale banking and investor solutions.

Anne-Christine Champion co-headed Natixis’ investment bank and had been a member of its management committee since 2020.

The future executive committee will be composed of 13 members around Slawomir Krupa and two deputy general managers, Philippe Aymerich and Pierre Palmieri.

Claire Dumas will retain her position as Chief Financial Officer. Marie-Christine Ducholet joins the management team as head of the bank’s retail banking network in France.

SocGen’s French retail banking business is currently under the supervision of outgoing deputy chief executive Sébastien Proto, who is also responsible for private banking. He will not be replaced position for position in the new leadership structure.

The new team, which will take office on May 23, will present the group’s new strategic roadmap in the third quarter.
