Raphael Hammerl appointed new Head of Compliance at UniCredit Bank Austria
Raphael Hammerl will take over as Head of the Compliance Department on 1 January 2023 and will be responsible for the units Compliance Conduct Risk, CS Compliance & Market Integrity, Anti Financial Crime Compliance and the Data Protection Office. He succeeds Matthias Klinger, who tragically passed away.
Robert Zadrazil, CEO of UniCredit Bank Austria: “In Raphael Hammerl we are gaining a very committed and highly professional person as the new Head of our Compliance Department, who has proven over many years in the area of anti-financial crime compliance that he is the ideal person for this new challenge. As interim head of the Compliance Department, he was already able to prove last year that he was able to master this difficult task excellently with his team as an experienced lawyer. At this point, I would also like to pay tribute to his predecessor Matthias Klinger, who passed away in October this year after a short, serious illness. His sudden passing at such a young age is a painful loss for our entire management team - both humanly and professionally.”
Raphael Hammerl studied law at the University of Vienna and graduated in 2012. After working at the renowned law firms Cerha Hempel Spiegelfeld as legal assistant and DLA Piper Weiss-Tessbach as an associate, among others, he joined UniCredit Bank Austria in 2015, where he became Deputy Head of Anti Financial Crime in 2018 and Head of the Department in 2020, and already headed the Compliance Department on an interim basis in 2022.
