Dexia CEO to move to National Bank
Dexia CEO Pierre Crevits will step down from his post at the end of the year to join the executive board of the National Bank of Belgium, the Belgian-French holding company said in a statement on Tuesday.
The 59-year-old economist will join the National Bank's board on 1 December on the recommendation of Les Engagés after six years as CEO of Dexia. Prior to that, he worked for more than 20 years in various roles at the National Bank. Between 2010 and 2014, he was chief of staff to former secretary of state and Justice and Defence minister Melchior Wathelet of cdH, formerly Les Engagés.
Dexia is now launching a selection process to appoint a successor. The change comes as the holding company works on a new business model, including a new management structure.
Dexia collapsed as a result of the 2008 financial crisis. The Belgian banking division was spun off from the group in 2011 and renamed Belfius. The residual bank, owned by the Belgian and French governments, subsequently began winding down its portfolio. Since 2024, Dexia has no longer held a banking licence.
