We wish him great success in his new role,” said Aris Bogdaneris, Head of Challengers and Growth Markets.
“A successor will be appointed shortly who will continue to roll out our Think Forward strategy in Italy, with its focus on customer experience and innovation.”

Alessandro Decio said, “Faced with the possibility of doing something I hope can be important for Italy’s development, I felt obliged to accept this challenge and the important responsibilities as CEO of SACE. I will always continue to be a fan, a friend and a client of ING Italy, and I will observe its future successes with great enthusiasm.”
