Arni became a member of the VP Bank group on 1 October 2019, and in his capacity as CEO, he has significantly advanced the execution of the Strategy 2026 and contributed to the group’s continued growth.
At this point in time, VP Bank has established a solid basis and is in an ideal position to effectively implement the group’s plan in the second half of the year.
With immediate effect and consent from both parties, Arni is handing up his position to Monstein, who has served as VP Bank’s chief operating officer since May 2018 and will be acting as temporary chief executive officer.
Throughout this period of change, Paul Arni will be present as a consultant. Already, efforts are underway to find a replacement.
