The Supervisory Board of Banca Comerciala Romana (BCR) took several decisions regarding the structure of BCR’s Management Board (Executive Committee).

The Management Board of BCR will be enlarged from currently five members to seven, by including the position of Chief Operating Officer and a separate position for Treasury, Capital Markets & Group Large Corporates.

The Supervisory Board of BCR has appointed Tomáš Spurný (46) as Chief Executive Officer of BCR, with 1 April 2012 as targeted date of handover from Dominic Bruynseels, the current CEO, whose mandate expires.

Dominic Bruynseels has contributed decisively to the development of the bank and its client base over the last four years. His extensive expertise and technical and managerial skills played a key role in helping BCR tackle the economic and financial crisis successfully.“I would like to thank Dominic for having put his talent and experience to the best use in consolidating BCR’s leading market position and for the leadership he demonstrated in efficiently navigating the bank through tough times. He was a very important partner to me and brought a lot to the table in terms of implementing international standards in the most important bank in the country”, 

Tomáš Spurný is an internationally experienced banker who, over the last ten years, has been the CEO of several major financial and banking institutions in Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary, contributing to their success on the local markets. Most recently he was CEO at CIB Bank Hungary, member of the Italian financial group Intesa Sanpaolo. Prior to his banking experience, Mr. Spurny had spent several years with management consultancy McKinsey and Company, advising financial institutions in number of CEE markets.

Martin Škopek, the current management Board Member responsible for retail at Erste Group, will take over the position of Board Member responsible for Retail Business starting April 1st 2012, as already announced. Martin Škopek held this position also during 2006 - 2010 and as such played a key-role in building up the bank’s retail business. He 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.

Christian Bruckner, who has been since 2010 Chief Operating Officer - until now advisor to the board - will become Member of the Management Board.

All appointments are pending approval from the National Bank of Romania.

The other Management Board members are Frank-Michael Beitz, Chief Risk Officer and Wolfgang Schoiswohl, responsible for the Corporate Banking.

We enhanced our management team with internationally experienced bankers that have also CEE roots. I’m confident they will form a team that will steer the bank to achieve growth,” stated Andreas Treichl, CEO Erste Group, following today’s BCR Supervisory Board meeting that he headed.
