In May 2015, he left the presidency of the group to devote himself to the general management of Société Générale, leaving the presidency to Lorenzo Bini Smaghi.

Background

Frédéric Oudéa is the son of a renowned gastroenterologist of Hungarian origin (just like Sarkozy), living in Nantes, who died in 1976. His mother, a researcher, moved to Paris with her three children. Frédéric Oudéa obtained his baccalaureate at the age of 16 before entering preparatory classes at Lycée Louis-le-Grand. He continued his studies at the École polytechnique (class of 1981) and at the École nationale d'administration (class of 1987)[1].

General management of the group was entrusted to him in May 2008, while Daniel Bouton retained the position of chairman of the board of directors[7].

In March 2009, Frédéric Oudéa was one of the leaders to whom the board of directors granted a batch of stock options (150,000 shares at 24.45 euros), while the bank was aided by the state.

In 2016, Société Générale was the main French bank affected by the Panama Papers scandal[11]. Communist Party deputy Marie-George Buffet then demanded the resignation of Frédéric Oudéa, suspected of having given false testimony to the Senate about offshore companies created by the bank, and demanded legal action [12]. PCF senator Éric Bocquet announced that he was going to alert he office of the Senate with a view to prosecuting Frédéric Oudéa for false testimony, about statements made under oath during a hearing in the Senate [13]. On May 27, the office of the Senate allowed Frédéric Oudéa to avoid going to court, to the great astonishment of the communist group which had requested the office to do so[14].
