Italy's BPER picks former UniCredit exec Papa as new CEO

Italy's BPER Banca CEO Piero Montani presents a new business plan

MILAN (Reuters) - BPER Banca said its newly elected board would meet later on Friday to appoint a new chief executive, as former UniCredit manager Gianni Franco Papa prepares to take the reins at Italy's fourth-largest bank.

Papa, 68, was a former general manager at UniCredit and had already been sitting on BPER's outgoing board.

Papa has been selected by BPER's top investor Unipol, an insurance group which owns a stake of nearly 20% in the bank, to replace Piero Montani.

Montani is a restructuring expert who arrived at BPER in 2021, brought in by Unipol to oversee the integration of businesses the group had bought in recent years.
