PARIS: The chief executive of BNP Paribas SA in the Nordic region says he’s hiring to latch on to a surge in the ranks of the super rich.

Eirik Winter, who’s been running BNP’s Nordic business since late 2018, is working on grabbing market share amid an “incredible amount of wealth creation” in the region, he said in an interview.
