Benoit Catel is the new president of Volksbank Romania starting this month. He is replacing Johann Lurf who has stepped down from the position. Over the past 20 years Catel has amassed extensive professional experience in the banking industry, having spent the last ten years at Caisse d’Epargne.
The French bank merged with Banque Populaire in 2009 creating the BPCE Group (Banque Populaire Caisse D’Epargne) which owns 24.5 percent of Volksbank Romania.
Before coming to Romania, Catel led BPCE’s subsidiary in Reunion.
