  • French banking giant Societe Generale said on Friday it had appointed President Emmanuel Macron's chief of staff Alexis Kohler as executive vice president, effective June 2025.

Alexis Kohler, who has served as the chief of staff to French President Emmanuel Macron since 2017, has been appointed as the Deputy General Manager of Societe Generale, one of France's largest banks. This move comes after Kohler stepped down from his governmental role amid allegations of conflict of interest due to his previous connections with the shipping company MSC, where his mother worked and where he had professional dealings. His appointment at Societe Generale is seen as a significant career transition, bringing his extensive experience in public administration to the private sector. The bank highlighted Kohler's "exceptional skills" and his deep understanding of economic and financial issues as key reasons for his hiring. This shift also reflects the ongoing trend of high-level government officials moving into influential positions within major corporations.
