His time in the United States between 2016 and 2021 as CEO of Société Générale Americas allowed him to improve relations with the US central bank (FED). Since 2021, he has been head of the Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB). In particular, he has been working to slim down risky activities - the hallmark of Société Générale - such as derivatives.
