Jean-Laurent Bonnafé (born 14 July 1961) has been the chief executive officer of BNP Paribas since 2011.[1][2][3][4]

Early life

The son of an Électricité de France (EDF) electrical engineer and a lawyer in Albi,[5] Bonnafé attended the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and later graduated in engineering from the École polytechnique and École des Mines.[6]

Career

Following his studies, Bonnafé joined the Ministry of Industry before moving into private equity and then BNP in 1993.[7] At BNP, he formulated the bank’s double bid for Société Générale (SocGen) and Paribas in 1999, which ended with BNP winning the latter but forced to drop its offer for SocGen.[8] He was widely credited with implementing the acquisitions of Paribas, BNL and Fortis.[9]

In 2011, Bonnafé was appointed as chief executive, taking over from Baudouin Prot.[10] In 2017, his compensation was at $4.5 million.[11]
