About

Managing 105 full-time equivalent employees in 21 businesses scattered across 11 different jurisdictions, is in itself a challenging assignment. Loïc Legouet has implemented an ingenious and efficient legal business line in order to overcome the size and reach of Amundi, keeping up with its rapid development. The structure allows direct access between commercial and legal teams, with each commercial department having a dedicated legal partner. From the creation of Amundi from the merger between Société Générale Asset Management (SGAM) and Crédit Agricole Asset Management (CAAM), to the Initial Public Offering of the company on the Paris Stock Exchange, Legouet has never disappointed in providing the vital and complex legal assistance Amundi has needed. Among his many achievements, Legouet’s daily working alongside senior partners in order to orchestrate a legally correct strategic direction of the company is one that he enjoys the most. Having had a robust background starting in 1988 working with Banque La Hénin (a CreditSuez Group function) and thereafter with Société Générale, Legouet has that extra edge when leading Amundi through the permanent regulatory evolution effecting the asset management industry. Legouet has proved many times over the course of his in-house career that ‘a legal function is a strategic asset for a company’.
