Komerční banka, a.s. welcomes two new members to the board of directors Anne de Kouchkovsky a Katarínu Kurucovou
Both current members of the Board of Directors remain with Société Générale. From 1 June 2025, David Formánek will manage and develop the activities of SG Equipment Finance CR, of which Komerční banka became a 100% owner on 26 February 2025, from the position of CEO. In this position, he replaces Reinhold Knödl, who is retiring after 29 years at the helm of SGEF CR. Didier Colin will work on new projects within the Société Générale Group after completing his second engagement at Komerční banka in the last 20 years.
"I would like to thank David and Didier for their contribution to the Société Générale Group to date and especially for the years they have devoted to their positions as members of the Board of Directors of Komerční banka. During this period, we launched the biggest transformation in the history of Komerční banka and introduced a new digital bank to the market, thanks in part to their work and efforts. I look forward to continuing to work with them until the end of their mandates on the Komerční banka Board and then in their new roles. I would also like to thank Reinhold for his great contribution to SG Equipment Finance CR and the entire Komerční banka Group and wish him the best of luck for the future.
I also want to wish Anne and Katarina every success and energy in their new positions. I believe that they will benefit from their rich work experience and I look forward to working with them."
