The Council of Banking Employers in Romania (CPBR), the employers’ organization of the Romanian banking sector, has appointed Oana Petrescu as its Chief Executive.
Oana Petrescu, who is also the Partner‐in‐charge of the Consulting Practice of Deloitte in Romania, has been working for more than 20 years in the Romanian banking sector both as a banker and also as an auditor and consultant. Prior to her position at Deloitte, during the period 2006 to 2012, Oana Petrescu has been vice‐president and member of the Executive Board of Banca Comerciala Romana (BCR), and, since 2009, she also served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Romanian Banking Association (ARB),
“The banking sector goes through a crucial period of redefining the relations with their clients based on trust and transparency and also adapting to the local and European regulatory overhaul. I’m honored to represent the banking employers’ organization during this period of clarification and reconstruction of the Romanian banking and business environment,” Petrescu said. “The biggest challenge for Romanian banks is to restore trust in the sector as a catalyst of recovery, economic growth and welfare and also to explain the importance of banking and its role in the economy and society.”
“Oana is familiar with the challenges of the Romanian banking sector, with the objectives of our members, as well as with Romania’s institutional building agenda. We strongly trust that with her experience and skill she will contribute in a very good way to the development of CPBR as a strong pillar to Romania’s progress,” said Steven van Groningen, the President of the Board of Directors of the CPBR. “We are glad that Oana accepted to join our organization as chief executive”.
The Board of Directors of CPBR approved Oana Petrescu’s appointment as Chief Executive at its meeting on March 6.
Established on 28 April 2014, the CPBR aims at contributing to raise confidence in the Romanian banking system and to the economic development of Romania, both as part of the tripartite dialogue with the government and trade unions, as well as through raising banking standards as a basis for real consumer protection.
CPBR’s member banks are Banca Comerciala Romana, BRD ‐ Groupe Societe Generale, Raiffeisen Bank, UniCredit‐Tiriac Bank, ING Bank Romania and Volksbank Romania. The six banks together own about half of total assets in Romania’s banking system, while their employees make more than a third of all employees in Romania’s banking sector.
