The contract of Petr Krumphanzl, Chairman and CEO of PrivatBank, expires tomorrow. While the Board looks for a successor, leadership of Ukraine’s largest and most profitable bank will go to Anna Samarina, Deputy Board Chair for Finance. During his three years at the helm of PrivatBank, Krumphanzl, a Czech, increased the bank’s profitability and moved strongly into online banking. He also was the target of harassment – legal and physical – by employees of Ihor Kolomoiskyi, who owned the bank until it was nationalized in Dec. 2016.
