Bernard Müller, head of the Specialized Financial Services Division of BNP Paribas, has decided to leave BNP Paribas to take up projects of a personal nature. This departure is the result of a decision made a long time ago and postponed several times because of the events gone though by Compagnie Bancaire and Paribas in recent years.
In August 1999, Bernard Müller postponed his departure again, at Michel Pébereau's request, and accepted to head, for about a year, the task of setting up the Specialized Financial Services Division and integrating it into the new group. This mission has now been accomplished for the most part, and Bernard Müller has decided to devote his time to his own projects that are in a field without any links to the financial sector.
Jean Clamon is to take over as head of Specialized Financial Services as from next October: he is taking charge of an important Division within the group, which is a source of growth, of value, of image and of good prospects.
Philippe Bordenave will replace Jean Clamon as Group Chief Financial Officer.
Jean Clamon
Born in 1952, with a diploma in Engineering from the Ecole Centrale de Paris, Jean Clamon arrived at Paribas in 1976, and spent most of his career in Group Management, of which he was head until July 1994. He then moved to head the Finance, IT, Organization, Operations and Logistics Department. He became a member of the Management Board of Paribas in February 1997. In 1998, he was appointed to the Executive Committee of Paribas, as a Financial Director and IT Supervisor.

Philippe Bordenave
