Eva Cederbalk, Chairman of the Board of Arion Bank:
"When I joined the Board one of the key objectives was to bring Arion Bank to market and that was done successfully last summer when the Bank was listed both in Iceland and Sweden. I am very proud to have been part of that important journey. This was a complex and demanding process with a lot of hard work from all involved, the Bank’s management and Board. Taking this into consideration, as well as other personal and professional constraints such as time and travel, I decided not to seek re-election as board member and Chairman of the Board of Arion Bank and informed the Nomination Committee accordingly.”
