Julien Marcilly appointed Coface chief economist

Julien Marcilly is appointed chief economist of Coface, with effect from 2 March 2015. He will take over from Yves Zlotowski, who will pursue a career outside economic research and the credit insurance industry.

Mr Marcilly, 32, has been Mr Zlotowski’s deputy and Head of Country Risk at Coface since 2012.
