Egnatia Bank

Prominent Greek banker Giorgos Michelis, who was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Attica Bank in late March, died on Saturday at the age of 69.

Michelis had many years of banking experience having served as CEO of Bancpost, a subsidiary of Greece's Eurobank in Romania, general manager of Emporiki Bank and executive vice president and chief operating officer at Egnatia Bank.

The Greek government named former banker Giorgos Michelis as chairman of the country?s bank rescue fund on Monday, which has been without a head since the resignation of both its chairman and chief executive earlier this year.
