Petr Šaštinský (47) will become the new head of Provident Financial, the British financial company on the Czech and Slovak market. He is the first Czech to become the company Country Manager in its seventeen-years history on the Czech market. He comes to Provident from the Dutch financial holding NOA where he worked as a general manager for East European markets. In Provident he replaces Russell Johnsen.

Petr Šaštinský began his professional career in Škofin as Operations Manager in 1992-1997. Then he took the same position in ING Lease for the next three years. After that he worked in GE Money Auto for 7 years, of which he spent three years as a general manager. Under his leadership the company became number one on the used vehicles financing market.

After leaving GE, Petr Šaštinský worked as a consultant for financial houses and insurance companies.

Petr Šaštinský says: “For me it is a great challenge to work for a company which is not just a leader in providing household loans on the Czech and Slovak markets but also one of the most important international financial companies. It is a company which has been regularly praised as the most ethical non-banking company by both its customers and the public.”
