Former U.S. Ambassador to Greece Speckhard Leads Greek Proton Bank

Lavrentiadis and Speckhard

Small Greek lender Proton Bank picked former U.S. ambassador to Greece, Daniel Speckhard to head its board of directors. Former ABN AMRO executive Rudolf Eduard Oldeman was named as the new chief executive, the bank said on Tuesday.
The bank has a network of thirty-one branches. Proton’s major shareholder, businessman Lavrentis Lavrentiadis, plans to cut his stake in the bank, a banking source told Reuters on Tuesday. “He plans to sell a 12 percent stake in Proton but will keep about 20 percent,” the banker, who did not want to be named, claimed.
Lavrentiadis bought the stake in Proton from Piraeus Bank in 2009.
Daniel Speckhard, a managing partner in WEM Global Investment, served as the U.S. ambassador to Greece from 2007-2010.
