France has a tradition of grooming its leaders from a young age, using harshly competitive exams to select an elite and then parachuting the cream of the crop into senior jobs in government and industry. But even by French standards, Baudouin Prots train ing stands out. The 52-year-old banker served a decadelong apprenticeship at BNP Paribas under the tutelage of Michel Pebereau, the bank's longtime chairman and chief executive. As head of French retail and commercial banking in the early to mid-1990s, Prot helped turn around Banque Nationale de Paris's core domestic business by selling consumer banking products. Then, as chief operating officer, he served as Pebereau's tactician in the 1999 battle to acquire investment bank Paribas, a deal that created an investment banking powerhouse in Europe. Prof's business acumen and financial discipline were instrumental in making BNP Paribas the euro zone's biggest bank by market capitalization when he took over as CEO last June, "Rarely," says Pebereau, "has a chief executive been so thoroughly prepared as Baudouin to take over a company."
