After having led the MeDirect Group for more than five years, Arnaud Denis, the Group’s Chief Executive Officer, resigned from his position effective 31st January 2025.
During his time as CEO, Mr Denis led the de-risking, scaling and transformation of the Group as a fully-fledged digital bank offering a wide range of banking, wealth and investment services, backed by cutting-edge technology.
He also oversaw the transition of MeDirect to a new controlling shareholder which, upon receiving regulatory approval, is committed to continuing to support and build the MeDirect bank franchises in Malta, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Writing on LinkedIn, Mr Denis described his tenure as an “incredible chapter,” and shared that he will be taking a moment to pause before starting new adventures.
The successor to Mr Denis as Group CEO will, subject to regulatory approval, be Jean-Claude Maher.
Mr Maher, who is currently the Group’s Chief Operating Officer, joined the MeDirect Group in July 2023 as an executive director and COO of MeDirect’s Belgian subsidiary, MeDirect Bank SA.
He has more than 30 years of experience in banking, and prior to joining MeDirect worked with Deutsche Bank AG, where he held various roles in research, corporate banking, transaction banking, private banking and country management.
His most recent role at Deutsche Bank was as Country Chief Operating Officer and Branch Manager of Deutsche Bank in Belgium.
Mr Maher recently relocated to Malta to devote his full energies to the success of the MeDirect Group.
