Inbank welcomes new Chairman and Supervisory Board members

The term of the Chairman and the new Supervisory Board members will commence on 1 April 2025 and will continue for three years. 

According to Jan Andresoo, the former Chairman of the Inbank Supervisory Board, the appointment of two new independent members and a new Chairman marks a significant step toward a more diverse and independently governed Supervisory Board, which is essential for Inbank’s journey to becoming a public company.

“With Erkki Raasuke leading our Supervisory Board, Inbank gains outstanding expertise in corporate governance, backed by decades of executive experience in banking. His strategic mindset and strong work ethic will be invaluable as we navigate the next phase of our development, and I look forward to working with him,” said Jan Andresoo.

“As Inbank and the complexity of the business continue to grow, we need to further strengthen our governance structure which is why I’m very excited to welcome Isabel Faragalli and Sergei Anikin to the Supervisory Board. Isabel brings deep expertise in capital markets, while Sergei contributes strong leadership in technology. Together, they will help bolster and internationalize our governing bodies,” said Jan Andresoo.

Strengthening governance for future growth

“My professional collaboration with founders Priit and Jan dates back over 20 years. Ever since, I have admired their strategic acumen, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong execution capabilities. Building on these qualities, they have successfully developed a dynamic and agile international business with a strong culture and a highly dedicated team. I am honored to be part of this team and contribute my knowledge and expertise in supporting its continued success. 

As Chairman, I will focus on steering a high-value, strategically engaged Supervisory Board while actively overseeing risk and audit matters to further strengthen Inbank’s governance and resilience,” said Erkki Raasuke.

“I am delighted to join the Inbank Supervisory Board. With almost 30 years of experience in the European capital markets, I have advised many European banks and consumer finance companies on their funding and growth strategy and I very much look forward to sharing such experience with Inbank and supporting them with their international expansion,” commented Isabel Faragalli.

"I am thrilled to join the Inbank Supervisory Board and collaborate with an exceptional team of professionals. In today’s world, technology is the key driver of success for any business, and I firmly believe that its strategic application can unlock new growth opportunities. My passion lies in leveraging technology to drive business transformation, and I look forward to helping Inbank scale its operations, expand internationally, and strengthen its position as a leader in financial technology,” said Sergei Anikin.

Jan Andresoo to drive platform and product innovation

Jan Andresoo will remain a Member of the Supervisory Board and take on a hands-on leadership role in shaping Inbank’s new products and channels strategy, supporting the company’s transition into a platform business ahead of its IPO journey.

“Inbank remains a founder-led company, with CEO Priit Põldoja and I actively engaged in building and steering the company toward future growth. My focus will be on ensuring that Inbank continues to innovate and deliver value to our merchant partners and customers,” said Jan Andresoo.

The Inbank Supervisory Board will consist of seven members, including Erkki Raasuke, Jan Andresoo, Roberto de Silvestri, Triinu Bucheton, Raino Paron, and the newly elected members Isabel Faragalli, and Sergei Anikin.
