Rothschild & Co appoints Grégoire Salignon as Head of Rothschild Martin Maurel

Rothschild & Co has appointed Grégoire Salignon as Head of Rothschild Martin Maurel with effect from 12 April 2026. He succeeds Alain Massiera, who will continue to play an active and strategic role within Rothschild Martin Maurel in Europe.

Grégoire Salignon joined Rothschild & Co in 2002 as a Wealth Planning specialist. Appointed Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Rothschild Martin Maurel in 2023, then Dirigeant Effectif in 2025, when he took on the responsibility for Regional Private Clients and for Corporate Advisory, in addition to Wealth Planning, Family Office, Insurance Front Office and Business Development, which were already under his leadership. With effect from 12 April, he is responsible for all of our wealth management activities in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Italy, as well as in Monaco.

Alain Massiera has led our RMM Wealth and Asset Management businesses since 2011. Over the past 15 years, Alain has successfully led the bank, driving a significant transformation of its activities, notably through the merger with Banque Martin Maurel, establishing a clear and well recognised operating model, and enabling a 6.5 fold increase in assets under management. Under his leadership, RMM has become the leading independent private bank in France. Thanks to his exceptional experience, he will continue to play an active and strategic role within Rothschild Martin Maurel in Europe. He will also continue to support the management team, some of our largest clients, and key prospects. He will be particularly involved in steering growth initiatives, including the creation and development of Rothschild Martin Maurel’s Italian branch, as well as supporting the activities of Rothschild Martin Maurel’s Monaco subsidiary.

“I am delighted that Alain Massiera and Grégoire Salignon have accepted these new leadership roles within Rothschild Martin Maurel. This transition, long in preparation, is part of the continuity of the work carried out by Alain Massiera and ensures management stability in line with our clients’ expectations. Wealth Management is a key pillar of Rothschild & Co, driven by a long-term vision and a constant commitment to serving the families and entrepreneurs we support,” said Alexandre de Rothschild, Executive Chairman of Rothschild & Co.

François Pérol, Managing Partner and Co-Chairman of the Group Partners Committee at Rothschild & Co, added: “Grégoire Salignon, thanks to his deep knowledge of the business, the teams and our clients, is ideally placed to take over the leadership of Rothschild Martin Maurel. His career within the Group and his long-term commitment are key strengths for continuing the development of Rothschild Martin Maurel in France and across the European Union.”

Alain Massiera, Partner at Rothschild & Co, said: “After fifteen years dedicated to the development of Rothschild Martin Maurel, I am proud of the progress our Wealth Management business has made: its growth, its stronger presence throughout France and in Europe, and above all the quality of the teams who drive it day to day. The leadership transition we are making today naturally follows this trajectory, with the conviction that Grégoire and the teams will continue this project with the same high standards and the same loyalty to our values.”

Grégoire Salignon, Head of Rothschild Martin Maurel, said: “I fully appreciate the responsibility entrusted to me and would like to express my gratitude to Alexandre de Rothschild, François Pérol and Alain Massiera for the confidence they have placed in me. Having been with Rothschild Martin Maurel for nearly twenty-five years, I have grown alongside the various teams and know their roles, requirements and culture. Their professionalism, integrity and commitment to serving clients provide a solid foundation. Together with them, I will continue to develop a Private Bank that remains true to its values of independence, proximity and high standards over the long term.”
