For Chief Executive Officer Frédéric Oudéa, "This change to the General Management is the first step toward a new, more agile mode of governance for the Group. The first objective will be to define very quickly the organisation and governance that are best suited to the Group's strategic ambitions and transformation challenges. Working closely with me, this new General Management team will be responsible for defining and implementing the bank's new strategic plan, drawing on the strength of this new organisation."
