About

Graduating from the University of Rennes and beginning his career in 1990 with PwC Legal and Tax, Boubakar Dione began his journey with Bpifrance in 2006, when the company was still known as Caisse des Dépôts. His promotion to group general counsel came in 2013, trusted with the legal function throughout the financing group that specialises in small-to-medium-sized enterprises. Years of experience have led Dione to produce numerous publications based on diversified financial topics and is one of the pioneers for “economic Francophonie” in Africa. He also has many years of teaching with Paris Panthéon, disseminating his knowledge of financial markets and the legal sector. Dione currently has 20 employees reporting directly to him and an additional 30 under functional reporting. Dione created the Bpifrance team based on the definition of legal doctrines, resulting in an amiable department effectively supporting the ambitions of the company. Having overcome the challenges of an environment of a post-merger of four companies and being part of Bpifrance from its inception, the legal structuring and implementation of the group is in large consigned by Dione.
