Ron Griseru, Senior Vice President and Head of the Banking Division at Bank Leumi, is leaving the bank after nine and a half years. The bank has not yet announced his successor.
Griseru joined Bank Leumi in 2017 as CEO of LeumiTech, the bank's technology company. In 2020, he was appointed to the bank's management and became head of the Banking Division, overseeing branches, customer service, retail credit, mortgages, payment systems, and small business operations.
Before joining Bank Leumi, Griseru served as Chief Information Officer at Menora Mivtachim and previously as VP of Technologies at Cal (Israel Credit Cards). He was appointed head of the Banking Division during Smadar Barber-Zadok's tenure as CEO. In 2023, after Barber-Zadok announced her resignation, Griseru was among the top three candidates for the CEO position, alongside Bentsi Adiri, then Head of the Business Division, and Eli Cohen, Head of Risk Management. The bank's board ultimately selected Cohen, who holds the position today.
Upon announcing his departure, Griseru stated, "After nearly a decade at Bank Leumi, I have decided to embark on a new path. I am proud to have participated in the group's groundbreaking initiatives and significant revenue growth in the division."
CEO Eli Cohen thanked Griseru for his contributions, noting that he advanced "significant business and technological initiatives with a great impact on the group's success and growth over the years."
