Following the retirement of Xavier Viollet, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Charlotte Dennery, CEO of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, evolved her General Management Committee as follows:

• Pascal Layan, 53, has been appointed Deputy Chief Executive Officer. He retains his responsibilities as Director of International Business Lines and Marketing. He also takes over the management of consulting activities.
• Wolfgang Pinner, 55, Chief Operating Officer, remains in charge of Country Supervision. He has also been appointed as Chief Data Officer. The supervision of the holding company and the Strategy and Development division will also be attached to him.
• Delphine Roché, 46, previously responsible for the relationship with Retail Banking in France, joined the Executive Board as Director of Transformation and IT. She will oversee IT Corporate, Process & Efficiency, Digital Transformation, Procurement, and Personnel and Property Security.

Roché began her career at BNP Paribas’ Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) in the Media & Telecom Finance Department. She then joined Groupe Développement as an Investment Manager in the new technologies sector. After having contributed to the launch of Lean Six Sigma at BNP Paribas, she joined Leasing Solutions in 2007 as head of the deployment of this operational excellence methodology through continuous process improvement.
