Raiffeisen Bank International AG’s (RBI) has appointed Valerie Brunner to its management board, effective 1 November. The appointment aligns with RBI's corporate and investment banking (CIB) activities.
Brunner will be responsible for the CIB customer coverage division. She will succeed Peter Lennkh, who left the RBI management board at the end of August.
Brunner is currently responsible for institutional clients in the RBI Group.
Since 1 September, RBI’s CBI has been acting as a "One Business Bank" towards its corporate and institutional clients. These two client segments will be serviced by the CIB Customer Coverage unit.
The CIB products and solutions unit, headed by Lukasz Januszewski, will provide and
continuously develop the banking products and services required.
RBI says: “This new setup strengthens RBI’s leading position as a CIB relationship bank in Austria and the CEE region. [It also] ensures that it can offer its customers a modern range of solutions, which is especially important now in the age of opportunities created by disruptive technologies such as AI.”
Erwin Hameseder, chairman of RBI's supervisory board, comments: "I am very pleased that we can complete the RBI board team with Valerie Brunner, who has many years of experience in corporate and investment banking. Together with Lukasz Januszewski, she will further develop RBI's corporate and investment banking."
