Bettina of Austria

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bettina von Oesterreich (born von Scheven , born May 8, 1967 in Lüdenscheid ) is a German bank manager .

Life

After various positions as an analyst and division director in the Deutsche Bank Group, Bettina von Oesterreich moved to Württembergische Hypothekenbank AG Stuttgart in 2005, which was taken over by Hypo Real Estate Bank International AG.

Since 2007 she has been a member of the Board of Management of Hypo Real Estate Holding AG Munich , where she was responsible for risk management as Chief Risk Officer . According to an audit report by the Bundesbank, which was drawn up as part of the necessary state aid measures for the bank, the risk management under the leadership of Ms. von Oesterreich showed severe deficits which, according to the auditors, should not have been tolerated. In connection with the difficulties at Hypo Real Estate caused by the financial crisis, she withdrew from this position on January 31, 2009. According to the HRE financial report of 2009, p. 34, von Oesterreich concluded a termination agreement with HRE on March 31, 2009. This provided for a severance payment of 400,000 euros gross. However, Austria has waived a so-called bridging benefit to which it is contractually entitled in the amount of 950,000 euros.

She was also a member of the board of Hypo Public Finance Bank Dublin and Quadra Realty Trust Inc. New York.

After resigning from her management board mandate at HRE, von Oesterreich followed her husband Constantin von Oesterreich to Hamburg, who was hired as Chief Risk Officer at HSH Nordbank in November 2009 and has been HSH’s CEO since November 2012. Bettina von Oesterreich runs the consulting company BVO Consult in Hamburg. According to its own information, von Oesterreich advises medium-sized companies on risk issues. Customers include shipping companies. To what extent this specialized advisory activity within the shipping industry is compatible with her husband's board activities at HSH Nordbank , once the largest ship financier in the world and now the Landesbank, which is now only kept alive with taxpayers' money, has not yet been questioned by politics or the public.

Bettina von Oesterreich is one of the few women who has held a board position in a DAX company in Germany . Further examples are Ellen Schneider-Lenné ( Deutsche Bank ), Karin Dorrepaal ( Schering ), Christine Novakovic ( HypoVereinsbank ) and Sabine Drzisgas ( MAN ).

She is a member of the supervisory board of the third largest private bank in Hamburg, Otto M. Schröder Bank .

Bettina von Oesterreich is married to Constantin von Oesterreich , the former CEO of HSH Nordbank .
