Philippe Laulanie, who has held his position since 16 December 2016, was unanimously reelected at the General Meeting on 18 June to his role as Director and Chief Executive Officer of the CB Cartes Bancaires consortium.
During this new three-year term, Philippe Laulanie will continue to drive the transformation and innovation of CB payments — a process that has been underway in recent years — to address many challenges: technological (contactless payments, digital payments, etc.), economic (French and European payment sovereignty), and societal (social inclusion and the security of card and mobile payments).
Philippe Laulanie, 59, an engineer by training, also holds an MBA from EM Lyon and is a graduate of the Institut des Hautes Études de Défense Nationale.
He has spent most of his career at BNP Paribas. He joined the company in 1989 as a Marketing Manager and quickly moved into other roles in France and internationally. From the General Inspection Department to Management Control, he gained extensive experience across various banking functions. In 1997, he was tasked with building the retail bank’s new distribution model through a multichannel platform deployed across more than 15 countries.
Since 2014, Philippe Laulanie has served as Chair of RMW (Retail Mobile Wallet), a subsidiary of BNPP.
His experience in the banking sector — both in France and abroad — as well as in strategic marketing, customer relations, digital technology, and information technology are all assets for CB, which strives to better meet the needs and expectations of banks, retailers, and their customers.
