The Supervisory Board of Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) today appointed Lukasz Januszewski (39) to RBI's Management Board. He will be in charge of the Markets area and thus succeed Klemens Breuer who left the bank in October 2017. Januszewski is currently a member of Raiffeisen Bank Polska's Management Board where he is responsible for Markets and Investment Banking. His appointment is still subject to the approval of the supervisory authorities.

“I am pleased we are able to complete RBI's Management Board with an experienced capital market expert from our network banks. The CEE competence in the management team will thus be further expanded,” said Erwin Hameseder, chairman of RBI’s Supervisory Board.

The career of economist Januszewski within the RBI Group started in the Treasury area of Raiffeisen Bank Polska in 1998. After that he had leading positions in the Capital Markets area and has held his current position since 2007.

“I am very much looking forward to cooperating with the Board colleagues. RBI has a leading role in the capital markets business in Austria and CEE. I would like to further develop this position,” said Januszweski.

RBI's Management Board will thus consist of Johann Strobl (CEO), Martin Grüll (CFO), Andreas Gschwenter (COO/CIO), Lukasz Januszewski (Markets), Peter Lennkh (Corporate Banking), Hannes Mösenbacher (CRO) and Andrii Stepanenko (Retail).
