“I am honored and pleased to lead the Finance and Global Performance Department, composed of a committed and expert team. I am dedicated to putting our expertise to work for the collective success of the Group and its ambitions. In an unstable economic environment, with a regulatory context marked by the implementation of Basel IV and strong expectations regarding sustainability, all the expertise of the department will be fully mobilized to ensure sustainable performance and manage the Group's balances.”
