New CEO needed for BNP and BGŻ

BNP Paribas is advanced in the procedure of looking for a CEO for the bank that will be created by merging BNP Paribas Polska and Bank BGŻ, reports Puls Biznesu. A headhunting firm was hired for the purpose of the recruitment. “The French owners are looking at our market in the long perspective,” a source close to the process told the daily. “That is why they are looking for a candidate that could manage the bank for at least two terms.” The current CEOs of both units are not candidates, the daily wrote. Sources say that many candidates have been presented by the headhunters, but few have the team-building skills required by the French capital group.

BNP Paribas declined to comment on the recruitment process.
