Former head of BCR corporate unit, appointed as vice-president of Banca Feroviară
Banca Feroviară, controlled by businessman Valer Blidar, brought Jean Andronie, former executive vice-president for corporate banking with BCR in 2004-2008 period, to the top management team.
Andronie kept his position at BCR for almost two years after
Austria's Erste took over, being the last to be replaced in
Dănilă's team.
Banking sources state that though they kept Andronie for a longer
time, the Austrians eventually grew discontent with the declining
market share on the corporate segment and therefore brought in
Wolfgang Schoiswohl, who had held a similar position with the
former HVB Ţiriac Bank.
After a period of staying away from the banking system, Jean
Andronie is returning as a vice-president of Banca Feroviară, being
in charge with the same segment of corporate clients.
Banking sources say Andronie promised Valer Blidar he would attract
companies through the refinancing of loans from other banks, as
Andronie knows the market very well after his experience with the
biggest bank on the market.
