BPCE Equipment Solutions’ Chief Commercial Officer Florence Roussel Pollet leaves after just four months to join BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions. She will lead CNH Industrial Capital Europe, a joint venture financing CNH and Iveco machinery across Europe. Her experience and strategic focus are seen as valuable assets by BNP Paribas.

Roussel-Pollet’s return to BNP Paribas represents a strategic move to strengthen partnerships and drive growth in core markets. Her extensive background in structured finance and commercial strategy will enhance the collaboration with CNH and Iveco Group. The appointment underscores BNP Paribas’ commitment to innovative financing solutions in the equipment sector.

The departure of Roussel-Pollet from BPCE follows the group’s acquisition of SGEF, as Société Générale exited the asset finance industry in 2023. Roussel-Pollet’s role at BPCE involved overseeing global sales and managing operations in key markets like the US, Brazil, China, and Hong Kong. Her exit will be closely watched in the French banking sector.

BPCE’s acquisition of SGEF was part of Société Générale’s broader strategy to streamline its business model and divest from non-core sectors like equipment finance. The rebranding of SGEF as BPCE Equipment Solutions aimed to strengthen the group’s presence in leasing and structured finance. Roussel-Pollet’s departure marks a significant shift in leadership within the asset finance industry.

Jean-Michel Boyer, Head of Equipment & Logistics Solutions at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, lauded Roussel-Pollet’s appointment, emphasizing her expertise in international leasing and commercial strategy. Her role in strengthening the strategic partnership with CNH and Iveco Group is expected to drive innovation and growth in the equipment financing sector.
