As of 1 January 2026, Jean-Maxime Jouis, currently global head of investment management, will become deputy CEO of BNP Paribas Real Estate. He will report to Thierry Laroue-Pont, CEO of BNP Paribas Real Estate.
Timothée Rauly and John O’Driscoll, currently global co-heads of real estate at AXA IM Alts, will jointly assume the responsibilities of global head of investment management on an interim basis as part of the legal merger between BNP Paribas Asset Management, AXA Investment Managers and BNP Paribas REIM.

Laroue-Pont said: “Mark has my full confidence to strengthen our services and open this new chapter of our presence in the United Kingdom, building on the work undertaken by Etienne in recent years. As head of IIG, Etienne will be tasked with developing our global capital market offering [offices, logistics, retail and hotels], notably by consolidating synergies within the BNP Paribas group, especially between BNP Paribas Real Estate, BNP Paribas CIB, BNP Paribas Asset Management, and BNP Paribas Wealth Management.”
