Willibald Cernko started his career at the Raiffeisenkasse Obadach-Weißkirchen in 1983. In 1985, he moved to Vienna and began working at Creditanstalt-Bankverein, one of the predecessor banks of Bank Austria.

Between January and September 2009, Cernko also held the position of Executive Vice President at UniCredit Group and served as head of retail for Germany and Austria.

On 1 October 2009, Cernko followed Erich Hampel as Chairman of the Board of Directors of UniCredit Bank Austria AG. Robert Zadrazil replaced Cernko in this position on 1 March 2016.[3]

Since 1 January 2017, Willibald Cernko has been a member of the management board at Erste Group, where he serves as Chief Risk Officer (CRO).[4][5] Since 1 June 2017, his division has also assumed responsibility for the work of Erste Group’s Group Sustainability Office, with the goal of establishing sustainability, including the issues of diversity and inclusion, as an essential component of Erste Group’s corporate culture.[6]
