Credit Suisse Pensionskasse, the $21.7B (€18.7B) pension fund of current and retired employees of the bank, which is now owned by UBS, has named Daniel Hunziker as chief executive officer.
Hunziker succeeds Jürg Roth, who held the CEO role for a year. According to reporting from IPE, Roth’s departure was due to personal reasons.
Hunziker joined Credit Suisse in 2022 as a strategy analyst for its e-business division and worked through multiple sales roles before taking on the role of head of strategy in 2017. Prior to his promotion to CEO, Hunziker was head of institutional clients and global asset servicing.
In a LinkedIn post announcing his promotion, Hunziker said Andreas Toscan will succeed him in that role. “Andi brings extensive leadership experience and an impressive track record in the institutional investor business – the best prerequisites to successfully develop the Institutional Clients & Global Asset Servicing business,” he said in the post.
Alongside his role at UBS, Hunziker serves as a board member of Pfandbriefbank schweizerischer Hypothekarinstitute AG, a banking company based in Zurich, Switzerland.
