Emmanuel Macron's chief adviser, Alexis Kohler, has resigned to join Société Générale as executive vice-president, overseeing mergers, acquisitions, and financing. Kohler, a key figure in the Élysée Palace since 2017, will support CEO Slawomir Krupa's turnaround strategy amid ongoing challenges at the bank. His move follows a formal investigation regarding past favoritism, which he denies.
