Her management experience gained at her previous workplaces, her results and her excellent working relationship with Mr Bence Marosi, the newly appointed CEO of KELER ensure the optimal utilization of the synergies between the members of the KELER Group (KELER and KELER CCP) and a tight cooperation.
Mr Bence Marosi: “I trust that with our experience in the fields of the capital market, business development and financial institutions, we will be successful with Babett in implementing the strategy of KELER Group in order to ensure the secure clearing and settlement of the domestic capital and energy market transactions in line with the international standards. We would also like to realize the goals of the Group that aim at developing KELER and KELER CCP into significant market players at regional and also at the European level.”
