PARIS (Reuters) – Societe Generale’s next chief executive, Slawomir Krupa, will be tasked with leading France’s third-biggest listed bank amid risks of a global recession and a crippling European energy crisis.
His name will be put to the annual shareholder meeting in May 2023.
Here are several facts about him:
* Krupa has been with SocGen since 1996, longer than any rival for the job. His latest role, since January 2021, was head of global banking and investor solutions activities.
* Krupa joined SocGen as an inspector and made his way up, with jobs in Europe and the United States. From 2016 to 2021 he headed SocGen’s Americas unit.
* Krupa’s deep knowledge of SocGen’s investment banking operations is seen as a strong asset.
* Krupa is a graduate of the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris, or Sciences Po.
