Giovanni Ortolani
Group Country Officer
The Group has implemented in our country its universal banking model. The wide spectrum of our activities ranges from Corporate & Investment Banking to the Securities Services, from Leasing & Factoring to the rental of car fleets or IT assets.
Over the years, the Société Générale Group has achieved a leading role among the international banking groups operating in Italy and we are now among the top 5 in nearly all of the businesses in which we are operating.
The recent crisis has changed, possibly forever, the global banking system; some of our competitors don’t even operate any longer. Despite the unstable environment, our Group has shown an incredible strength and staying power. At the roots of these results lies the dedication of our employees and the attention we grant to them.
Our priority is now to attract the best talents globally. We offer exceptional training opportunities, outstanding career potential and all the resources needed to build on potential under a long term approach.
As Group Chief Country Officer for Italy, I wish to thank you for your interest in Société Générale; I encourage you to enquire about openings in our “Applying” section at both the local and international level. We are very proud of our Italian colleagues and I am sure we will keep attesting the best professional standards.
Finding and fostering potential talent: our Group has 157,000 employees from 120 nationalities who are operating out of 85 countries. There are 150 different professions through the whole spectrum of banking and finance.
