Benoît Lallemand

He previously served as Secretary General of Finance Watch from 2017 to 2025. Prior to this, Benoît was a senior policy analyst (mainly MiFID 2), senior advisor to Better Markets on EU affairs and head of strategic development and operations at Finance Watch. He also initiated the Citizens’ Dashboard of Finance, a platform allowing a broad range of stakeholders, including pioneers in sustainable businesses and financial services, academics and civil society organizations to engage on a global campaign to change finance.

Before joining Finance Watch upon its creation in 2011, Benoît spent more than ten years in the financial sector – more specifically in clearing and settlement (market infrastructure). He was initially a team leader before holding senior positions in asset-servicing departments, focusing on fixed income and structured products’ primary markets and regulatory reporting. He was then in charge of several business steering committees and strategic projects.
