BNP Paribas has restructured the governance of its Corporate and Institutional Banking division by creating two clearly defined senior leadership roles, announced on 7 July 2025 and effective 1 September 2025. Yann Gérardin, who remains Group Chief Operating Officer, is appointed CIB Executive Chairman, while Olivier Osty, previously head of CIB Global Markets, becomes CEO of Corporate and Institutional Banking and a Group Deputy Chief Operating Officer.
BNP Paribas said the governance change forms part of the group's preparation for its next strategic plan.
