2:00 Min

Dear all,

 

Today is my last day at UniCredit, marking the end of almost five years as CEO of the bank.

 

It has been an enormous privilege and I am immensely proud of everything we have achieved together. We successfully delivered our Transform 2019 plan and tackled the health crisis of 2020 with confidence and determination, always putting the health and safety of our team members first.

 

Our ability to support our clients and communities throughout such a challenging period is testament to the fundamental strengths of the bank and of our team. UniCredit is in a very strong position thanks to our fortress balance sheet, our deeply embedded risk and cost culture, and our focus on delivering sustainable results for the long-term.

 

Our culture has profoundly changed thanks to the commitment of all team members to embrace our values of Ethics and Respect, and to always ‘Do the Right Thing!’ for all our stakeholders.

 

Andrea Orcel will now lead UniCredit through its next chapter. I am excited to see what he and you all will do together, and I am sure you will continue to make UniCredit a true pan-European winner.

 

UniCredit and its people will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. Please stay in touch!

 

Jean Pierre
