Gaetano Panno will assume the role of Head of the Non-Financial Risk Department at KfW starting April 1, 2025. This newly established department consolidates operational and reputational risks. Previously, Panno led the Transaction Management Department at KfW for five years.
KfW Executive Board Member Melanie Kehr remarked, "In recent years, Gaetano Panno has successfully expanded and effectively strengthened the management of information security risks as a CISO. Now the task is to bundle non-financial risks in a separate department due to their growing importance. Gaetano Panno has exactly the right kind of experience for this."
Marta Lambert Vinos will take over from Panno as Head of the Transaction Management Department. She brings with her seven years of experience overseeing various IT departments and has significantly contributed to digital development initiatives such as agile software development and distributed ledger technology (DLT).
Melanie Kehr stated, "Our path to becoming a digital transformation and promotional bank is decisively shaped by the Transaction Management Department, especially with regard to the digitalisation of securities settlement. With her experience in specialised processes and as a manager in IT, Marta Lambert will consistently pursue the path she has chosen."
