Gabriels’ appointment has yet to be approved by the central bank.
He served as general manager and board chairman at RBS Romania from September 2009 until the spring of 2012. Gabriels has a banking experience of over 20 years.
The bank’s Executive Board will have the following structure: Johan Gabriels (general manager and chairman), Ion Dobrica, Gheorge Cismaru and Georgiana Coanda (deputy general managers and members of the board).
Since October 2012, Carpatica has been run by Ion Dobrica in an interim capacity, after Nicolae Surdu’s three-year term came to an end. Dobrica is executive manager of the bank’s controlling and treasury division.
