The Supervisory Board of Sberbank recently convened its meeting and confirmed German Gref in the role of president and chairman of the board for another four years. The decision underscores a continuity of leadership at the highest level as the bank advances its long-term agenda.
In a statement from Sberbank’s press service, the board highlighted that the top executive and his leadership team are a key driver of performance. Customers, investors, and partners have observed a clear pattern of transformation in recent years under Gref’s stewardship, and these groups have expressed strong appreciation for the direction of the bank under his guidance.
Alongside the leadership renewal, the Supervisory Board approved a strategic framework outlining the path for Sberbank through 2026. The plan emphasizes a shift toward a more human-centered approach to business, signaling a change in tone and priorities from the bank’s earlier strategy.
One of the notable milestones in the meeting was the decision to reveal the full three-year Development Strategy at Investor Day. Gref explained that this would be a major event, featuring a thorough presentation of the plan and its implications for stakeholders. To ensure broad accessibility, Sberbank has arranged a large-scale online broadcast of Investor Day so that the bank’s 1.8 million shareholders can review the detailed program and understand how the strategy translates into concrete actions and results.
The overall mood of the gathering reflected a commitment to steady progress and measurable outcomes. By placing greater emphasis on people, the bank aims to strengthen its core capabilities, sustain growth, and adapt to evolving market conditions while maintaining robust governance and accountability. The leadership team’s focus on clear communication, transparent decision-making, and stakeholder engagement is expected to support continued confidence from clients and partners as Sberbank implements its updated course through 2026 and beyond. press release and official statements
