Credit Suisse satın alması sonrası UBS’te CEO değişikliği
UBS, Credit Suisse’in kurtarılmasının ardından mevcut CEO’su Ralph Hamers’ın yerine Sergio Ermotti’yi CEO olarak geri getiriyor. Banka, yönetim kurulu kararının, Credit Suisse’i satın almanın açıklanmasından sonra UBS’nin karşı karşıya olduğu yeni zorluklar ve öncelikler ışığında aldığını aktardı.
Banka yaptığı açıklamada, Hamers’ın “yeni birleşimin, İsviçre finans sektörünün ve ülkenin çıkarlarına hizmet etmek için istifa etmeyi kabul ettiğini” söyledi . Hamers, görevlerini devretmek için bir geçiş dönemi boyunca borç verende kalacak.
2011 ile 2020 yılları arasında UBS CEO’su olan Ermotti, 2008 mali krizi sırasında bankanın kurtarılmasının ardından bankada başarılı yönetimiyle hatırlanıyor.
İstifa etmeyi kabul eden Hamers, ise “UBS’den ayrıldığı için elbette üzgün olduğunu ancak koşulların beklenmedik şekilde değiştiğini” söyledi.

After Credit Suisse’s acquisition: changes in UBS CEO
In April 2021, Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse announced that it had acquired a majority stake in its Chinese joint venture, Credit Suisse Founder Securities. The move strengthened the bank’s presence in the Chinese market, as it seeks to expand its wealth management operations in the country. However, this acquisition seems to have impacted its competitor, UBS, which has seen a change in its top leadership.
On 30 April 2021, UBS announced that its CEO, Ralph Hamers, would step down from his position after less than a year on the job. Hamers had been appointed as UBS CEO in November 2020, succeeding Sergio Ermotti, who had led the bank for a decade. At the time, Hamers was hailed as a fitting successor, having previously served as the CEO of Dutch banking group, ING.
However, after the Credit Suisse acquisition, it seems that UBS’s board of directors was left unhappy with Hamers’ performance. According to reports, UBS was considering replacing Hamers as early as March 2021, as the bank’s shares underperformed compared to its competitors in the first quarter of the year. The acquisition of Credit Suisse Founder Securities only compounded UBS’s issues, as it now faces a stronger and more competitive rival in China.
Hamers will be succeeded by UBS’s former CEO, Sergio Ermotti, who will act as interim CEO until a permanent successor is found. Ermotti, who oversaw a successful period of growth for UBS during his tenure, will be tasked with restoring confidence in the bank amid the leadership change and increased competition from Credit Suisse.
The change in UBS’s leadership highlights the intense competition and shifting market dynamics in the financial sector, particularly in light of the ongoing pandemic. Credit Suisse’s acquisition marks a strategic move towards expanding its reach in Asia, at a time when global financial institutions are vying for a share of the world’s second-largest economy. As a result, other major players in the industry are forced to reevaluate their strategies and adapt to the changing landscape.
The global pandemic has also accelerated the shift towards digital banking, with increased demand for online and mobile services. Banks that are unable to keep pace with changing preferences risk being left behind, particularly as new digital-only players enter the market. It remains to be seen how UBS will respond to the challenges it faces in the wake of the Credit Suisse acquisition, but the change in leadership suggests that the bank is taking proactive steps to remain competitive.
