The pace of adjustment of the bank's senior management team has accelerated.

On March 12, a reporter from Beijing Business Daily sorted out and found that since the beginning of the year, nearly 20 state-owned banks, joint-stock banks, and local banks have changed candidates for positions such as chairman, president, and vice president. Among the staff, the "post-70s" are also becoming more and more prominent.

In the view of analysts, taking advantage of personnel adjustments to introduce younger and more pioneering and innovative leaders is more conducive to the bank's digital transformation and innovation.

Frequent flow

  In 2023, bank executive changes have become a common phenomenon.

According to a reporter from Beijing Business Daily, as of March 12, nearly 20 banks have changed their positions such as chairman, president, and vice president.

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of China, and China Construction Bank "officially announced" to usher in new vice presidents on the same day a few days ago.

According to the announcement, the three newly appointed vice presidents of the three major banks are Duan Hongtao, Zhang Xiaodong, and Wang Bing.

  Judging from his work experience, before joining ICBC, Duan Hongtao has been working in China Construction Bank. He has successively served as the president of the Yangtze River Sub-branch of the Hubei Provincial Branch, the general manager of the Compliance Department of the Provincial Branch, and the general manager of the Human Resources Department. Since July 2009, he has successively served as the Hubei Branch Assistant to the President and Vice President of the Provincial Branch. In December 2014, he was appointed as the President of the Qingdao Branch.

  Zhang Xiaodong worked at ICBC from March 2018 to December 2022. He had successively served as the general manager of the private banking department of ICBC, the director of the general office of ICBC, and the general manager of the human resources department. He has served as Vice President of Bank of China since January.

  Wang Bing is an "old banker" who has worked in the Bank of China for a long time. He has served as the assistant to the president of the Bank's Jiangsu Branch, the president of the Ningbo Branch, the vice president and the president of the Jiangsu Branch.

From December 2018 to December 2022, he served as Vice President of Bank of China Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited and Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited. Director of Bank of China Group Insurance Co., Ltd.

  A reporter from Beijing Business Daily noticed that at present, the senior management lists on the official websites of Bank of China and China Construction Bank have updated the appointment information of Zhang Xiaodong and Wang Bing, two vice presidents.

The Agricultural Bank of China ushered in a new president at the beginning of the year. On January 20, the bank issued an announcement stating that Fu Wanjun had assumed the positions of vice chairman, executive director, and president of the bank from that day onwards. As a result, the management structure of "one principal and five deputy" of Agricultural Bank of China has also been formally formed.

  The above-mentioned cases are just a microcosm of the frequent changes in executives of large banks this year, and the changes in joint-stock banks and local banks are also relatively frequent.

Among joint-stock banks, Industrial Bank added two new vice presidents, and Huaxia Bank and Hengfeng Bank added one new vice president.

Among the local banks, on March 7, the Bank of Beijing issued an announcement on the resolution of the board of directors, stating that it agreed to hire Dai Wei and Han Xu as vice presidents of the bank, and their qualifications still need to be approved by the regulatory agency.

The Bank of Xi'an also "officially announced" recently that the regulator has approved Liu Qiang's qualifications to serve as the bank's vice president.

accelerate rejuvenation

  Sorting out the reasons for the changes in the bank's management, it is mainly due to work adjustments, personal reasons and other reasons.

Newcomers "fill their seats", the candidates for bank executives are getting younger and younger, and the "post-70s" executives are becoming more and more prominent in banks.

  In terms of age, Zhang Xiaodong, the new vice president of the Bank of China, and Wang Bing, the new vice president of the China Construction Bank, are both born in the 1970s.

Among the six state-owned banks, some senior executives are born in the 70s. For example, Zhang Wenwu, vice president of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, was born in 1973, Zhang Weiwu, vice president of ICBC, was born in 1975; Li Yun, vice president of China Construction Bank, was born in 1973 Zhang Yi, vice president of Agricultural Bank of China, was born in 1971, Liu Jiawang, vice president, was born in 1975; Liu Jun, president of Bank of Communications, was born in 1972;

  The rejuvenation of executives will help to cultivate innovative thinking, which is more conducive to promoting the digital transformation of banks and enhancing the competitiveness of banks.

  Yu Baicheng, a special researcher at Zero One Think Tank, pointed out that taking advantage of personnel adjustments to introduce younger and more pioneering and innovative leaders will be more conducive to the digital transformation and innovation of banks.

In the context of the current digital and sophisticated development of the banking industry, business adjustments and executive changes are likely to increase, and talents will also flow in multiple directions among various institutions.

  As Liao Hekai, an analyst at Jinle Function, said, during the transformation period of the banking industry, more "young people" need to enter the management to promote the innovation of banking institutions and the development of new businesses, so as to adapt to the refinement of the banking industry in the new era of stock competition , The needs of characteristic operation.

At present, the banking industry is full of challenges in the process of transformation, and more old and new "blood" cooperation is needed to integrate resources to the maximum extent and systematically move towards a new development direction under the premise of stable operation.
