Guido Zoeller, group country head Germany & Austria of Societe Generale, has been appointed as the new chairman of the supervisory board of GEFA Bank GmbH.

Guido Zoeller (pictured here) succeeds Didier Hauguel, who is leaving the supervisory board by rotation after 12 years of service as chairman.

Jochen Jehmlich, CEO at GEFA, said: “I would like to thank Didier Hauguel for his commitment, his in-depth experience and the valuable impetus he has given to GEFA bank’s strategic development over the past 12 years.

“At the same time, I would like to welcome Guido Zoeller, who has already been a member of our supervisory board since 2012, as his successor. I am convinced that he will competently support us in all challenges of the coming years due to his excellent knowledge of the German market and our business segment.”

Zoeller said: “I very much appreciate the trust placed in me and I look forward to my new responsibilities as chairman of the supervisory board. GEFA Bank is regarded by its SME clientele as an experienced and reliable partner at eye level.

“It is my ambition, together with the entire Supervisory Board and the management team of GEFA Bank, to accompany the bank in its future tasks, so that our clients receive the best financing and leasing solutions for them in each case.”
