Paris, June 2nd 2026
Group Banque Richelieu has appointed Christophe Juniet as Chief Future Officer, with responsibility across the Group for Technology, Data and Artificial Intelligence. He will lead a newly created business line, comprising about ten people, bringing together all Technology, Data, and AI teams across the Group’s entities in France, Monaco, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.
“Christophe’s appointment reflects the central place that technology, data, and artificial intelligence now hold in our strategic priorities. They have become drivers of agility, commitment and excellence – the very values that underpin our organization. We have chosen to elevate them to the highest level of decision-making and to equip ourselves with the means to master them sustainably” says Sylvain Fondeur, Chief Executive Officer of Group Banque Richelieu.
Christophe Juniet, 48, began his career in sell-side electronic trading as Tech Lead for Market Access and Algorithmic Trading at Crédit Agricole CIB Cheuvreux (2006–2011). He joined Criteo in September 2011, where he held various senior engineering roles, eventually rising Director of Engineering. From 2018, he contributed to the launch of Memo Bank, where he architected the digital core banking platform, first as Chief Technology Officer and later as Chief Technical Product Officer. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in physics from Paris Cité University.
With this hiring, Group Banque Richelieu is choosing to drive its own digital transformation and make it a strategic priority. Christophe’s roadmap is to equip the Group with robust technological foundations, on which all future transformations can sustainably build.
“The cohesion of a Group like ours is built on principles rather than uniformity. A private bank in Monaco does not serve the same clients, within the same wealth structures, or under the same regulatory frameworks as a bank in Zurich, Paris, or the United Arab Emirates. Preserving the distinct voice of each entity without hindering the whole: this is the requirement that a group’s technological architecture must meet. Furthermore, artificial intelligence is intended to be present at all levels of the Group, and it is precisely because it will be that it must be rigorously regulated” adds Christophe Juniet.
