Strategic leadership update: strengthening the management team at SME Bank

As SME Bank continues to scale its operations, we are pleased to announce key appointments within our leadership team. This leadership evolution reflects our focus on harmonizing rapid digital innovation with the robust risk management and regulatory excellence expected of a fully licensed bank. 

Internal Leadership Transitions

We are pleased to announce two significant internal promotions:

  • Dovilė Bansevičienė has been appointed Chief Business Banking Officer. Having previously served as Chief Commercial Officer, Dovilė will now lead our business banking strategy, succeeding Lukas Bašys, who continues his tenure as deputy CEO.
  • Sandra Čereškienė has been appointed Chief Compliance Officer. Sandra, who previously served as the bank’s Data Protection and Compliance Officer, was selected for this role to ensure our regulatory framework remains robust as we expand our digital service offering.

Commitment to Competence

These appointments align with the strategic objective shared by our CEO, Raimondas Berniūnas, at the start of the year: to consistently attract and empower top-tier talent. By integrating deep industry expertise with a focus on digital transformation, SME Bank remains positioned to deliver high-impact banking experiences for our clients.
