Malta-based BNF Bank plc has started its search for a new Chief Risk Officer (CRO), after Maruska Buttigieg Gili handed in her resignation, it announced on Friday.
The bank has commenced the process to identify a suitable replacement “within the shortest time possible”.
Ms Buttigieg will remain in office up till the end of 2022 in order to “ensure a smooth transition”. BNF Bank thanked her for her service throughout her 15 years at the bank and also wished her “every success in her new endeavours”.
She was initially appointed Head of Unit, Control and Compliance Department in 2007, when the bank was still operating under the name Banif Bank, a position she stayed in for more than six years before she was named Head of Internal Control Department. After the rebrand in 2017, she was appointed CRO, and has remained in the position since.
Prior to her time at BNF Bank, she worked at the Central Bank of Malta for over 12 years, during which time she was a member of the Human Resources Department and also Senior Economic Statistician.
Ms Buttigieg holds a Master of Arts in Economics and a Bachelor of Science in Financial Services from University of Malta and The University of Manchester respectively. She also has an associate degree from The London Institute of Banking and Finance.
With a network of 12 retail branches spread across Malta, BNF Bank strives to be “the bank of choice” for individuals and businesses, creating products and digital banking services that offer solutions for customers and facilitate growth. This is primarily done through its core values of ambition, responsibility, and empathy, which are at the basis of the bank’s operations.
