At a time when the European banking sector has been under sustained pressure, BNP Paribas (BNPP) has been notable in its ambition to grow, and to take on the world’s leading banks within its target markets. As Yannick Jung, the bank’s head of global banking for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), puts it: “We aim to become the leading banking partner for corporates in EMEA.”
Global banking EMEA is a large team, with 2300 staff operating across 34 different countries. Key target markets for the bank include the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and the Nordics, with a broader target of being one of Europe’s top three corporate and investment banks by revenue.
