BPCE Equipment Solutions has lost its Chief Commercial Officer Florence Roussel Pollet just four months into the role, as the asset finance executive departs to join BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions.
Effective from June 16, Roussel-Pollet was appointed President of CNH Industrial Capital Europe, the joint venture between CNH Industrial, IVECO Group, and BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, and joins the Executive Committee of BNP’s Equipment & Logistics Solutions International Business Line.
Her appointment follows the promotion of Mariusz Tarasiuk to CEO of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions’ DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Roussel-Pollet is now tasked with leading a key partnership that underpins financing for CNH and Iveco’s machinery and vehicles across Europe.
The move marks a return to familiar ground for Roussel-Pollet, who built her career at Société Générale Equipment Finance (SGEF) from 2001, rising to global commercial leadership before joining BPCE in early 2025. Her time at BPCE coincided with the group’s acquisition of SGEF from Société Générale, which exited the asset finance space in 2023 as part of a strategic divestment.
“This role represents an excellent opportunity to leverage our strategic partnership and drive sustainable growth across our core markets,” said Roussel-Pollet, adding that she was “thrilled to be joining BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions” and eager to deliver “innovative financing solutions” to CNH and IVECO customers.
Operating under the CNH Capital and IVECO CAPITAL brands, CNH Industrial Capital Europe offers a range of custom financing solutions—including hire purchase, finance leases, and operating leases—in markets such as France, Germany, Italy, the UK, and Spain. These services are critical to the commercial success of CNH and Iveco Group, supporting their industrial vehicle and machinery sales.
Jean-Michel Boyer, Head of the Equipment & Logistics Solutions business line at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, praised the hire: “Florence’s extensive background in structured finance, international leasing, and commercial strategy will be instrumental in strengthening our strategic partnership with CNH and Iveco Group.”
Roussel-Pollet’s quick departure from BPCE will raise eyebrows in the French banking sector. She had been appointed CCO of BPCE Equipment Solutions in early 2025 following the group’s purchase of SGEF. In that role, she oversaw global sales across 14 entities and managed operations in the US, Brazil, China, and Hong Kong.
The SGEF sale marked Société Générale’s broader move to simplify its business model and exit non-core sectors like equipment finance. BPCE rebranded the acquired business as BPCE Equipment Solutions, hoping to build scale in leasing and structured finance.
