While running Natixis Private Equity, Homassel will retain his responsibilities as executive director of strategy at Natixis.
Natixis is in the process of selling its domestic private-equity activities to AXA Private Equity, valuing the portfolio at 534 million euros ($746.5 million).
The bank said the plan is still not definitive, however, and presentations must be made to worker representatives and the board of directors. (Editing by David Holmes)
