Swiss financial services company Credit Suisse has announced a leadership change in the corporate clients area of the company. Credit Suisse Switzerland executive board member Daniel Hunziker will take over the leadership of the corporate clients business with immediate effect. This will be an additional role for him besides his current role as head of Institutional Clients.

Daniel Hunziker has been at Credit Suisse since 2002. He previously held roles including head of Region Zurich and head of Strategy in the former Swiss Universal Bank division, before taking over the management of the Institutional Clients business in 2020 and thus becoming a member of the Executive Board of Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. In addition, Daniel Hunziker has been president of the Zurich Banking Association since 2019.

Credit Suisse also announced that Andreas Gerber, head of Corporate Banking and member of the Executive Board of Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd., is leaving the bank. The banking veteran will take a break for the time being after spending 34 years at Credit Suisse and Schweizerische Volksbank.

He has been in charge of the corporate clients business since 2020 and prior to that was responsible for the SME business in Region Zurich and Region Mittelland, among other roles.

“I would like to thank Daniel for taking on the position as head of the corporate clients business and wish him every success in this additional role. I wish to thank Andreas for his great commitment and valuable contribution. He has always been especially committed to supporting Swiss SMEs and was instrumental in driving the corporate clients business at Credit Suisse. I wish him all the best for the future,” said André Helfenstein, CEO of Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd.
