Guy de Leusse

Guy de Leusse is Group Deputy COO at ODDO BHF, a position he has held since July 2022. He is the public face of ODDO BHF's EUROD initiative, a euro-denominated stablecoin the Franco-German bank launched after more than two years of development. In an interview on the project, he explained that ODDO BHF identified stablecoins as the most accessible entry point into the digital asset space and chose to focus on the euro specifically, citing the near-absence of a euro stablecoin market as a strategic opportunity, in contrast to the saturated dollar stablecoin market. The stated rationale was to establish relationships with exchanges, brokers, market makers, and asset managers — counterparties with which ODDO BHF had no existing ties. EUROD's design incorporates decentralised finance, with holders intended to be able to generate on-chain returns. In February 2026, de Leusse participated as a panellist at a breakfast event co-organised by The Big Whale and Morpho at ODDO BHF in Paris, focused on stablecoins and DeFi in institutional strategy.

Prior to his current role, de Leusse served as COO of Capital Management at ODDO BHF from February 2011 to July 2025, overseeing middle office, reporting, management control, and IT teams across asset management, private banking, and securities services, as well as regulatory projects including MIF2, FATCA, AIFM, and related frameworks. Before that, he directed Oddo Services from April 2003 to February 2011, building back-office and IT teams and creating service offerings for asset managers and private banks in France. He held a compliance and risk control role at ODDO BHF from April 1994 to April 2003, and prior to joining the group worked as an auditor at Euronext from July 1990 to April 1994. He holds a Master in Business Administration with a focus on Finance and Financial Management Services from CNAM, completed in 1991.
