Kerin announced this on Tuesday. Thiam was appointed to the supervisory board of the French group as an independent director in mid-2020, where he was chairman of the audit committee and member of the remuneration committee.
The board now wants to discuss a successor for Thiam in the coming weeks and start a search.
The French-Ivorian dual national was elected in December 2023 as the new president of the PDCI, the largest opposition party in Ivory Coast. This means he will likely be the party’s candidate in the 2025 presidential elections.
At 61, Thiam is considered young for high political office in Ivory Coast. He is only the third elected president in the history of the PDCI, founded in 1946. Before him, Ivorian national father Félix Houphouët Boigny and another former head of state, Henri Konan Bédié, headed the party. Bédié died last August.
From 2015 to 2020, Thiam was CEO of the major bank Credit Suisse, which was taken over by competitor UBS in the spring of 2023. In February 2020, he resigned as CEO of Credit Suisse after months of headlines about spying on the bank’s top executives.
