PARIS (Reuters) – French President Emmanuel Macron’s chief of staff Alexis Kohler is set to join Societe Generale as head of retail banking, newsletter L’Opinion reported.
Societe Generale declined to comment.
Kohler and the Elysee presidential palace did not immediately reply to a request for comment. L’Opinion quoted an Elysee spokesperson as saying that Kohler “has not signed anywhere, and, for the moment, is not going anywhere.”
Kohler has been Macron’s chief of staff since the start of his first term in 2017. Like Macron, he attended the elite Ecole Nationale d’Administration (ENA). He was also head of Macron’s cabinet when Macron was finance minister under President Francois Hollande
