Farewell to Fabius Gaul, the mild-mannered banker of just 61 years old, who was the first CEO of Bnl-Bnp Paribas and then of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) and who died suddenly. Born in Alessandria and graduated in Economics from the University of Turin, he began his career in consultancy, Accenture, and then move on to finance, in Ersel of the Giubergia group, where he will become General Manager. In 2002 he moved to Capitalia in the team of the then CEO Matteo Arpe. Gallia first becomes CEO of Fineco and then of the Banca di Roma. In 2008 the opportunity came to lead a large bank and he became the CEO of Bnl of the French group Bnp Paribas. The big professional leap came in 2015, when the Government appointed him CEO of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (Cdp) with Claudio Costamagna as president. Very eventful years in which CDP increased its shareholdings including that in Team in an anti-Vivendi key. In 2020 Gallia passes to Fincantieri, where he is General Manager, a position he leaves in 2022 to become Senior Advisor of Centerview Partners.
FIRSTonline shares the family's grief and offers its condolences, remembering a very knowledgeable banker and a gentle man in Gaul.
