PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed ambassador to Australia Pierre-André Imbert as his new chief of staff. He will succeed Emmanuel Moulin , who is now free to run for governor of the Bank of France. The move, first reported by POLITICO on Tuesday , was formalized Thursday in France's official journal. Before serving as French envoy to Australia, Imbert was social affairs adviser to Macron between 2017 and 2020 and deputy chief of staff until 2023, when he left for Canberra.
