Intesa Sanpaolo Managing Director and CEOCarlo Messinacommented: 'Our Bank is pressing ahead with the process of reinforcing all the major structures. These are deep-seated changes, carried out with a view to continuity, as is demonstrated by our promoting the best managerial resources we have in the Group. I would like to express not only my own gratitude, but that of the whole of Intesa Sanpaolo, to Giuseppe Attanà, Renato Dalla Riva and Ernesto Riva, who - after a long history of professional success - bring to an end their experience in a Bank that thanks to their contribution has managed to establish itself as a leader in Europe. Our thanks also extend to all those managers who, by leaving their posts in Intesa Sanpaolo at this time, are supporting the process of promoting the best professional talents in the Group'.
