Credit Suisse Group today announced a set of changes to its Executive Board. David Mathers, who has served as Chief Financial Officer since 2010 and as CEO of Credit Suisse International (CSI) since 2016, has indicated his wish to seek alternative opportunities outside of Credit Suisse. Mr Mathers has agreed to continue his responsibilities until suitable successors for both of his roles have been found, ensuring an orderly transition. Credit Suisse has launched an internal and external search, a process in which Mr Mathers will be involved, to find the optimal candidates for the two roles. Also today, Credit Suisse announced that Francesca McDonagh will take over by October 1, 2022, as CEO of the EMEA region from Francesco De Ferrari, CEO of the Wealth Management division, who has held this position on an ad interim basis since January 2022. Ms McDonagh, who will be based in Zurich, will also join the Executive Board, reporting directly to Group CEO Thomas Gottstein.
