The Swiss financial institution UBS has mentioned that it is bringing again former CEO Sergio Ermotti to guide as soon as once more because it strikes ahead on a government-orchestrated plan to take over struggling rival Credit Suisse.
Ermotti will take over from present CEO Ralph Hamers, who took up the job in November 2020 and can stay at UBS throughout a transition interval “to ensure a successful closure of the transaction and a smooth hand-over,” the financial institution mentioned in an announcement on Wednesday.
Ermotti was the financial institution’s prime govt for 9 years and UBS credited him for having “cut its footprint” and altering the tradition of the financial institution.
The re-appointment takes impact on April 3, 2023.
