What is the bank model that Andrea Orcel is drawing inspiration from to create a new UniCredit? According to what reported by Il Sole 24 Ore, “from the confidential meetings that the Roman super-banker is having with some of the bank’s top managers, the imprint that the CEO intends to give to UniCredit of the future, a bank that, like announced, will focus on innovation, simplification and digital. In this context, Orcel is reportedly using two examples as benchmarks: the Singapore bank Dbs Bank and the Australian Commbank which, explains the financial daily, “have made digital innovation their mantra in recent years”. Orcel has already chosen a figure to be assigned the task of forging the new Piazza Gae Aulenti: it is the Chinese Jingle Pang, who was among the top managers of Standard Chartered Bank in China for over a decade. Pang, whose entry into the Orcel team has yet to be formalized, will cover the role of Group digital & information officer according to Il Sole 24 Ore. Pang’s name and career are explained on the same official UniCredit website.
