Vincent Georgel-O’Reilly assumed his new position at Scope Ratings on 1 February 2026. He joined Scope in 2024 as Chief Market Officer and brings over 20 years of leadership experience in financial services, including senior roles at State Street.
Vincent Georgel-O'Reilly will lead Scope Ratings together with Guillaume Jolivet who has been at the helm of the company for more than 10 years. The strengthened management team includes Natalia Bourin as Head of Internal Controls and Vincent Wald as Head of Rating Operations. Both have also held management positions at Scope Ratings for many years. Management-board member Matthias Böhm has left the company after more than four years.
Vincent Georgel-O’Reilly said: “Stepping into the role of Managing Director of the firm is an honour. Scope’s greatest strength is its people - their expertise, integrity and commitment to analytical excellence. I look forward to working closely with Guillaume and the wider team to scale our credit intelligence platform, deepen our insight, and deliver even greater value for clients through a strong, independent alternative perspective.”
Guillaume Jolivet said: “Europe’s ambition to enhance its strategic autonomy makes the development of an independent capital‑market architecture absolutely essential. In this exciting period of transformation for Scope, I am particularly pleased to have in Vincent a deeply trusted capital‑markets expert at my side. His integrity, expertise, and relentless commitment to excellence is an invaluable asset as we continue to scale rapidly as the European rating agency.”
