Credit Suisse taps Schroders exec; Ukraine state bank rejects board candidates

S&P Global Market Intelligence presents a daily roundup of management and board changes at financial institutions in Europe. This feature excludes C-level leadership changes and previously reported stories.

Credit Suisse Group

* Credit Suisse Group AG named Daniel Imhof as global deputy head of investment management and head of platinum solutions and client services Aug. 19, according to an internal memo seen by finews.com. Imhof's appointment is effective November — he will be based in Zurich and report directly to investment management head Bjoern Jesch. He has been serving as head of global sales at Schroders PLC in London since May 2017.

National Bank of Ukraine

* The National Bank of Ukraine's supervisory committee on Aug. 16 rejected the candidacies of five supervisory board members of PJSC State Savings Bank of Ukraine, including the board's Chairman Sevki Acuner, based on results of interviews carried out by the qualification committee in collaboration with the central bank's board. The central bank added that four other candidates passed the interviews and tests and that a final decision on their candidacy will be made once the disparities in their submitted documents are eliminated. The National Bank of Ukraine also said that it is "deeply concerned" over the procedure used to extend Acuner's contract which did not not adhere to the laws mandating that such an appointment procedure must be conducted on a competitive basis. Besides Acuner, the other rejected candidates are Deputy Chairman Oleksii Hrinchenko and board members Oleksii Rieznikov, Dmytro Vlasov and Daniel Bilak. The four candidates who passed the interviews are Apine Baiba, Michael Weinstein, Peter Briggs and Yurii Khramov.

Finablr

* Abu Dhabi-based payment services provider Finablr PLC said Aug. 16 that Bassam Hage accepted his board nomination and will serve as an independent nonexecutive director, effective Aug. 19. Hage will also serve as a member of the audit committee.
