Egon Zehnder Leading CEO Search for Piraeus Bank
January 27, 2016 – Egon Zehnder has been retained by Piraeus Bank to lead its search for a new chief executive officer. Stavros Lekkakos will be interim CEO while the bank looks for a full time replacement for Anthimos Thomopoulos who recently resigned.
Mr. Thomopoulos’s resignation followed a stand-off between the bank and Greece’s left wing government, with the lender seen as yielding to pressure from state authorities that have taken a confrontational stance towards foreign investors.
Headquartered in Athens, with employees in nine countries, including Greece and in southeast Europe, Piraeus Bank Group offers a full range of financial products and services to approximately six million customers.
