Alexis Kohler Appointed as Societe Generale's Executive VP
(Reuters) -French banking giant Societe Generale said on Friday it had appointed President Emmanuel Macron's chief of staff Alexis Kohler as executive vice president, effective June 2025.
Kohler, who has been Macron's chief of staff since the start of his first term in 2017, will be responsible for leading M&A, Equity Capital Markets and Acquisition Finance activities, as well as assisting CEO Slawomir Krupa in implementing transformation programmes within the bank.
He will also join Societe Generale's Executive Committee.
Like Macron, Kohler attended the elite Ecole Nationale d'Administration (ENA). He was also head of Macron's office when Macron was finance minister under President Francois Hollande.
