As part of creation of a major state-owned financial group and the merger between La Banque Postale and CNP Assurances, La Banque Postale is making changes to its governance. Stéphane Dedeyan, chief executive officer of CNP Assurances since 16 April 2021 and member of La Banque Postale’s executive committee, joins the executive board of La Banque Postale as of 27 October 2022.
This development is the direct result of the increase in La Banque Postale’s stake in the insurance company to 100%, following the tender offer completed in June, and of the process currently underway of transferring all of the Group’s insurance activities to the CNP Assurances Holding.
La Banque Postale’s Executive Board now has four members – Philippe Heim, chairman; Marion Rouso, managing director of retail banking; Bertrand Cousin, managing director of corporate and investment banking; and Stéphane Dedeyan, chief executive officer of CNP Assurances. This newly extended executive board will support La Banque Postale’s growth and diversification ambitions over the period to 2030, both in France and abroad.
The appointment of Stéphane Dedeyan to La Banque Postale’s executive board comes at a time when our Group is finalising the integration of La Banque Postale’s insurance activities within CNP Assurances. Stéphane Dedeyan has been working alongside me for the past 18 months to build a strong insurance offering which draws on a multi-partner approach, and to create a major state-owned financial group to serve the general interest. Stéphane will contribute his expertise and know-how in the insurance field to help drive the next stage of growth for our banking group in France and abroad.
