Sergio Ermotti will step down as Chairman of the Board of Swiss Re at the end of April.

Sergio Ermotti (62) must do more in his new role as CEO of big bank UBS. As expected, the Ticino native resigned as Chairman of reinsurer Swiss Re on April 30. He temporarily hands over the office to his deputy, Jacques de Vaucleroy, 61, who will lead the search for a successor.

Swiss Re announced on Thursday that Ermotti is stepping down from the Presidency following the end of the agreed handover period to focus on his role at UBS. According to Jacques de Vaucleroy, Vice President and Chief Independent Director, the search for a successor has begun.

President for two years at Swiss Re

Ermotti said in a statement that he was honored to lead Swiss Re’s Board of Directors for the past two years. “Swiss Re’s strategic goals are clear and I believe the company is well positioned to succeed.”

After the announcement that UBS would take over Credit Suisse, Ermotti was soon rehired as CEO of UBS. When the change of CEO at the top of the bank was announced, it was said that Ermotti would step down as Chairman of Swiss Re after a short handover period to ensure an orderly transition at the reinsurer.

Ermotti presided over UBS for nine years, from 2011 to 2020, before becoming President of Swiss Re. (SDA/smt)
