Beyond Paris: Leading Across Regions

Specializing early can be a career risk—or a launchpad. For alumnus Jean Morice, who chose securitization, it's been the latter, as his latest promotion attests.

Since mid-October 2025, promoting a culture of collaborative working and good communication is top of the agenda for Jean Morice, global head of securitized products in the legal office of BNP Paribas. Fortuitously, he has a model: legacy Allen & Overy.

Jean describes himself as "naturally an open-minded person" and flexible in the way he works with people. Paris-based, he relishes the prospect of connecting with colleagues outside the French capital, and indeed outside Europe. "Diversity in a team is something I value," he said, "and I see it as a source of strength and opportunity to learn and grow."
