A new Rothschild at the head of the Rothschild bank

Alexandre Rothschild, 37, is expected to succeed his father, David Rothschild, on May 17 at Rothschild & Co.’s general meeting. Until then, executive chairman of the group, 75-year-old David passes the torch to his son but remains ‘active as new Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
Alexandre de Rothschild will have to make a name next to his legendary surname of seven generations of bankers. If father, David, was the architect of the reconstruction of the French family bank, he will give more momentum certainly in private equity, currently the third pillar of the bank alongside the advice on mergers and acquisitions and management of Fortune.
