The supervisory board of Erste Group took several personnel
decisions at its meeting yesterday that concern the holding
company as well as the subsidiaries in Hungary and
Romania.
Bernhard Spalt, current management board member of Erste
Group will take over responsibility for risk management at
Erste Bank Hungary as of 1 February 2012, a position that
has been vacant since summer. "With Bernhard Spalt, Hungary
will have the most capable risk manager anyone can hope
for. His experience and persistence are a guarantee that
our subsidiary in Hungary will soon be seeing less risky
times," said Andreas Treichl, CEO of Erste Group.
At Banca Comerciala Romana, Oana Petrescu decided to
relinquish with effect from 31 March 2012 from her position
as management board member for retail business. Oana
Petrescu contributed enormously to the transformation of
BCR and played a key role in various management positions
in this process. Martin Skopek, management board member for
retail business at Erste Group, will succeed Ms. Petrescu
and will start his activities in Romania as of 1 February
2012. "With this decision, we want to ensure that despite
the difficult economic conditions, the retail business will
continue its progress smoothly at BCR and ensure that the
bank will fully benefit when private consumption kicks in
again," explained Andreas Treichl on the appointment of
Martin Skopek. Martin Skopek, who already worked at BCR
from November 2006 to June 2010 in the function of board
member for retail business and helped to build up the
retail business, will continue to steer group-wide retail
activities and will also remain chairman of the group-wide
retail board, apart from assuming this new position.
Bernhard Spalt's area of responsibility in the Erste Group
will be taken over by Gernot Mittendorfer, current
management board member for corporate and investment
banking. Gernot Mittendorfer's business area passes into
the responsibility of Franz Hochstrasser who already held
this position from July 2008 to March 2009 and will also
continue to be responsible for treasury and capital markets
business.
All appointments are contingent on the approval of the
local supervisory authorities.
The measures described above will reduce the number of
members on the management board of Erste Group Bank AG from
currently seven to five. At yesterday's meeting of the
supervisory board, the decision was taken to prolong the
five management board contracts until mid-2017. The current
mandates run until mid-2012.
"I am very grateful to Bernhard Spalt and Martin Skopek for
their willingness to contribute their experience and
know-how in two key markets: Romania and Hungary. We cannot
express how much we appreciate their decisions, because it
shows us two characteristics of Erste Group: first, we have
built up the management potential within the group that we
need now for the challenges we are facing, and second, it
also reveals how close relationships are within our
management team and how well we work together across the
diverse business units," emphasized Heinz Kessler, chairman
of the supervisory board, in a statement after the
supervisory board meeting.
