Raiffeisen Bank's Leadership Changes
(Reuters) -Austria's Raiffeisen Bank on Wednesday named company veteran Kamila Makhmudova as chief financial officer, effective January 1, and added the role to its management board after its removal six years ago.
Background of Kamila Makhmudova
Makhmudova began her career at Raiffeisen in 2007 in the bank's M&A division. In December 2021, she was appointed as CFO to Raiffeisen's management board in the Czech Republic.
Management Board Structure
Raiffeisen in September 2019 had removed the finance chief role from its management following the expiry of then-CFO Martin Grull's term.
Strategic Moves in Russian Market
The size of the management board will remain unchanged following the new appointments, with the retail arm to be handled by CEO Johann Strobl, the statement said.
Rainer Schnabl will become responsible for the division offering products and solutions for corporate and investment banking, succeeding Lukasz Januszewski, the company added.
The appointments come as the bank looks to sell its Russian business to a local buyer in the hope that the Russian government would lift a block on repatriating billions in profits.
