The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has appointed William Roos Managing Director for Corporate Strategy with effect from 1 September 2025.
As Managing Director and a member of the Bank’s Executive Committee, Mr Roos will be responsible for formulating the Bank’s overall corporate strategy, including advising the President on strategic options and developing its core strategic documents.
EBRD President Odile Renaud-Basso said: “I am delighted to welcome William to the EBRD. His significant experience in international relations and the financial architecture of multilateral development banks means that he is well positioned to play a leading role in advancing the Bank’s key priorities as we move into our new Strategic and Capital Framework.”
A French national, Mr Roos joins the EBRD from the French Treasury, where he is currently Assistant Secretary for Multilateral, Development and Trade Affairs.
Prior to taking on that role, Mr Roos had a long career in development and international affairs, including a period of time as the EBRD’s Director for France between 2019 and 2021.
