Salorio has been global head of debt capital markets since 2010, said Societe Generale. He was promoted global co-head of debt capital markets in 2008 and was deputy head since 2007. In 2004, he was appointed head of financial origination. Salorio began his career at Societe Generale in Madrid in 1991 where he held different positions within debt capital markets and global finance activities in Spain.

Last December Societe General Equipment Finance (SGEF) made a raft of planned senior management changes in its business following change at the top.

SGEF said Giles Turner, managing director for the UK and head of Western Europe, will be leaving at the end of January 2019.  After more than 20 years’ service dedicated to helping SGEF grow into a major force in the UK and Europe, the lessor said Turner was going to pursue some long-postponed personal objectives.
