Brazil's largest bank by assets also nominated Paulo Roberto Ricci as senior vice president overseeing the merged retail banking and people management division, according to a regulatory filing. Ricci will replace Alexandre Abreu, who was previously head of retail banking and was named chief executive officer earlier this year at the state-controlled bank.

A new vice presidency slot was created to oversee the infrastructure, services and operations division, which will be headed by former government minister Cesar Borges, the filing said.
