With our strong foundation built over the past three decades, we are now entering a new chapter. After ten years of dedicated leadership, Jean-Marc Debricon will be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) later this year. We warmly thank him for his invaluable contribution to strengthening Alterfin’s mission and global impact.

We are proud to announce that Luc Cool has been appointed as Alterfin’s new CEO . Luc has served on our Board of Directors since 2024 and brings a profound understanding of our cooperative values. With over 30 years of experience in banking and impact investing, he brings a broad range of expertise in strategic leadership, finance, operations, and risk management.

“Since joining the Board of Directors, I have come to know Alterfin as a company marked by authenticity, resilience, and a purpose-driven culture. Building on its strong track record, I see tremendous potential to expand its impact. I look forward to leading the cooperative toward a future where we empower even more people worldwide with opportunities to live with dignity. Together with the global team, partners, and co-op members, I’m committed to driving meaningful, lasting change where it matters most.”

Luc will officially assume his new role in September 2025. Together with Jean-Marc and supported by our team and Board, a one-month handover will ensure a smooth and steady transition.

As we welcome this new chapter, our focus remains unchanged: building a fair and sustainable financial alternative that prioritizes people and the planet.

To our co-op members, partners, investors, and community: thank you for walking this path with us.

The Alterfin Team
