"Petr joined our ranks only a couple of months ago and by the mid-March found himself, along with the rest of us, in the middle of the coronavirus crises. One of the key elements that enabled our bank to provide services undisturbed was the swift and effective response of our IT specialists. His expertise, knowledge and understanding of the field, along with his sense of management, has proven to be invaluable. We are looking forward to continue working with him and to making sure that with our joint efforts NLB Group will be ready - for whatever may come," said Blaž Brodnjak, CEO.
"If the challenges we have faced in the last two months have taught us anything, it was that further, faster and more extensive digitalization is not only an expectation, but a necessity. In a world that is becoming even more digital, we must find new ways to stay connected - not only with our families and friends, but with our co-workers and our clients as well. And in order to stay connected, we must provide the best online experience. That is something that we will strive and what we look forward to achieve not only in Slovenia but in all the countries where NLB Group operates," added Brunclík.
