Effective 31 March 2026, and after over two decades at the helm, during which Spink has seen tremendous growth and expansion, our CEO, Olivier D. Stocker, has decided to step down from his CEO role.
He will now focus on his role as Executive Chairman, overseeing in particular the Group’s strategy, new ventures, and relationships with our most important customers. He will also remain the CEO of our Spink China businesses in Hong Kong and Asia.
He has appointed his longtime associate Arnas Savickas to replace him as CEO, and who will report to him as Chairman of the Board. Previously Head of the Banknotes Department, Arnas’ skills in auction technology will be particularly important to further drive the digital and AI transformation of the Group. The transition has been prepared over a long time and has been very smooth.
We wish all the best to Arnas in his day-to-day management of our Group, and to Olivier, who will be able to focus on what he loves the most, after giving his relentless commitment to the transformation of Spink into the formidable company it is today. Knowing his passion for the auction industry, we are delighted to know that he will continue to be a very Executive Chairman.
