“Starting today,” said Carlo Messina, managing director and CEO of Intesa Sanpaolo, “Intesa Sanpaolo’s Banca dei Territori has equipped itself with a new set of managers of the Regional Governance Centres. We have appointed young people in possession of conspicuous capacities and the required experience. We wished to valorise the professional expertise existing within the Group while also implementing a significant generational change. I am confident that the new managers will harvest the best possible legacy from their predecessors and successfully address the major professional challenges that lie ahead of them. I should like to express my thanks to the outgoing managers of the Regional Governance Centres, who over the last year and a half have worked alongside me in the Banca dei Territori Division, for the excellent results achieved by the Division under their leadership. Their precious contribution will continue to be appreciated in their new roles.”
