(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 2-Dec-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Societe Generale has confirmed several senior appointments within its finance division, set to take effect on 2 January 2025. Vincent Robillard will become Co-Head of Group Treasury and ALM, replacing Agathe Zinzindohoue, who has served in this role alongside Thomas Decouvelaere. In his new position, Vincent will also assume the role of Group Treasurer.

After a distinguished 32-year career at Societe Generale, Agathe Zinzindohoue has decided to focus on her work with the Apprentis d’Auteuil Foundation before retiring.

In another key change, Marianne Champarnaud has been named Head of Investor Relations and Financial Communications, succeeding Vincent Robillard in this capacity. Marianne has been integral to the Group’s financial communications strategy, having led the Investor Relations department for over two years.

Profiles of the Appointees

Vincent Robillard joined Societe Generale in 2004, following more than five years in audit and consulting, which provided him with a broad perspective on the bank’s operations. His career at the bank includes significant roles such as representing Societe Generale in the Société de Financement de l’Economie Française in 2008 to refinance the French banking sector through government-backed bonds. He later became Head of Long-Term Funding and Collateral Management in 2009. Since 2020, Vincent has led Investor Relations and Financial Communications. He is a graduate of EDHEC Business School.

Marianne Champarnaud, also a long-standing member of Societe Generale, joined the bank in 2004 as a structured products engineer and has since taken on increasingly senior roles within the Finance Department. She was appointed Head of Financial Planning for Global Banking & Investor Solutions in 2019 and became Head of Financial Communication within the Investor Relations team in 2022. Marianne holds a Master’s degree in Banking and Finance from Paris I University.
