GROUPE SEB WINS BEST FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT AWARD
At the 7th Trophées Leaders de la Finance awards organized by Décideurs Magazine and Leaders League on April 20 in Paris, Vincent Léonard, Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, was presented with the award for the Best Financial Department of an International Group. The awards were presented at a gala dinner attended by 700 finance professionals from companies, banks and specialized brokerage and consultancy firms.

Commenting, Vincent Léonard said: “This award acknowledges a year of record performances and intensive external growth activity. In 2016, the Group confirmed its status as a consolidator in the small domestic equipment sector through two impressive strategic acquisitions. The financing of those acquisitions, achieved swiftly with diversified instruments and under particularly favorable financial conditions, confirms the quality and credibility of the Group’s signature on the financial markets. But, above all, this prize rewards the commitment, professionalism and team spirit of the 700 people in the Group’s Finance community, to whom I would like to extend my warmest thanks.”
