  • This year, we had the incredible opportunity to escape the winter blues and embrace the sun-soaked charm of Lisbon at our LHV Winter Office. Over the last three months, our team swapped chilly days for warm creativity at the beautiful Second Home Lisbon, a space designed to spark new ideas. It wasn’t just about the sunshine (though we loved it! ☀️)—it was also about switching up our working environment to find fresh inspiration, exploring Lisbon’s vibrant culture, and building deeper connections. From brainstorming in a biophilic workspace 🌿 to wandering through the city’s historic streets, savoring local delicacies, and soaking in Lisbon’s unique magic, it was truly a time to remember. Thank you to everyone who participated, shared ideas, and made unforgettable memories. Here’s to more adventures that inspire bigger and bolder thinking! 🚀 #WinterOffice #Lisbon #TeamLHVBank #InnovationAndInspiration

    After an incredible 11-year journey, Andres Kitter, LHV Bank’s Chief Technology Officer and a key member of the Executive Committee and Board, has announced his decision to step down at the end of this year. Andres has been instrumental in shaping LHV’s growth since joining in 2013, from establishing the retail banking offering in Estonia to launching LHV Bank in the UK. Under his leadership at LHV Pank, the bank built one of the most modern banking platforms and developed a successful business line for financial intermediaries, which paved the way for LHV's international expansion. Madis Toomsalu, CEO of LHV Group, said: "Andres' leadership and vision were key to our success. We are immensely grateful for his contributions and wish him the best in his future endeavors." Reflecting on his journey, Andres shared: "After 11 remarkable years, it's time for a new chapter. I'm proud of the team and the groundbreaking work we’ve done. Now, I’m excited to focus on businesses in their earlier stages of development." We wish Andres continued success as he embarks on his next adventure!🚀👏 Read more below👇 https://lnkd.in/dWdNaxtG
