With over 18 years of experience at UniCredit and 25 in the banking system, Curteanu has held the CEO position of UniCredit Leasing since July 2010. Before that, between 2007-2010, she held the position of deputy director of the corporate division and of global transaction banking at UniCredit Bank, and between 2005-2007 she was executive vice-president and member of the UniCredit Romania board.
