OTP banka has just finished a successful merger process of two significant banks and became a leading and strong bank with solid foundations and a development-oriented strategy. In our business, we respect the principle of sustainable operations, and we consistently take care of developing the potential of our employees, strengthening team spirit and the well-being of our clients, employees and partners. With the selection of the new CEO, the bank’s supervisory board wishes to bring additional experience to facilitate further growth and innovations for OTP banka to offer an excellent user experience to our clients and prove our vision of being the best bank in Slovenia. As an important member of the international OTP Group, the bank will also continue to strive for constant progress, mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, and actively contribute to the stability and success of OTP Group.
Imre Bertalan, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of OTP banka in Slovenia, said: “OTP banka Slovenia is one of the largest and most significant members of the international OTP Group. We are therefore particularly pleased to announce the recruitment of András Hámori as our next CEO. With extensive international experience in customer-focused development and operations, András will continue to lead the bank, after ECB approval, after John Denhof steps down at the end of this year. For the past five years András Hámori has served as ING's Head of Retail Banking in Austria and Australia. In addition to accelerating digitalisation, we expect him to further enhance the customer focus at OTP banka.”
András Hámori said: “I am excited to join OTP banka, a bank with a strong position in the Slovenian market and solid foundations, which I am committed to build on further by putting our customers at the centre of everything we do. Through personalized and digitally enhanced services, we will deepen relationships and offer value that empowers both our clients and the broader community.”
András Hámori is a business development and result-oriented executive with extensive experience in digital transformation across multiple international markets. In more than 25 years in the banking industry, he has built a strong reputation for delivering results and fostering a high-performance culture, combining strategic vision with hands-on leadership.
He joins OTP banka after serving as Head of Retail Banking at ING Australia, the most recommended bank in the market. Before his tenure in Australia, he held management board and executive positions at ING Austria, Sberbank Europe, ZUNO Bank, Raiffeisen Bank International, and GE Money.
Mr. Hámori has successfully led initiatives that transformed customer experience and improved banking operations. From scaling start-ups and corporate ventures to advancing digital channels, he has consistently driven results by leveraging data, agile methodologies, and modern technologies. His experience in optimizing customer journeys and leading diverse, geographically dispersed teams will support OTP banka in its next phase of growth and development.
He holds a master’s degree in economics from the Budapest University of Economic Sciences (1999) and brings extensive expertise in driving growth in both developed and emerging markets.
Mr. Hámori succeeds John Denhof, whose term expires at the end of 2024. Imre Bertalan said: “I would like to express my warm and sincere thanks to John Denhof for his leadership over the past eight years during which the ex-Nova KBM was transformed from a regional player to a market leader. John’s rigorous commitment to client excellence led to considerably improved client satisfaction. Moreover, by streamlining its product portfolio and pioneering cutting-edge digital channels, the bank delivers unparalleled digital banking experiences, setting a new standard of excellence in the industry. By putting emphasis on the bank’s employees and talent development, OTP banka is now the sector’s employer of choice. On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I wish John well in all his future endeavours.”
The supervisory board will establish soon the interim structure for the bank’s operations until the new CEO takes office.
