Spurny, former head of Hungary’s CIB Bank, has replace Dominic Bruynseels as BCR’s head. Bruynseels’ mandate has expired earlier this year.
“An internationally experienced banker, Tomas Spurny 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 over the last ten years,” BCR said.
Prior to his banking experience, Spurny, 47, had spent several years with management consultancy McKinsey & Company, advising financial institutions in number of CEE markets, it added.
The central bank authorized the appointment of three new vice-presidents at BCR. Martin Skopek has been named vice-president of the Retail&Private banking division, Sergiu Manea as vice-president of Treasury, Capital Markets & Group Large Corporates and Christian Bruckner as vice-president of Operations.
The approval process for Bernd Mittermair as Financial vice-president is in the process of being finalized, BCR said in its statement.
The other board members continuing their mandates are Michael Beitz, Chief Risk Officer and Wolfgang Schoiswohl, Vice President Corporate Banking.
