Credit Suisse Reshuffles Leadership In Western Switzerland

The bank announced a number of appointments for the Romande region of the country.
Credit Suisse
last week announced changes to the Romande region of western
Switzerland – the western French-speaking corner of the Alpine
state.
Steve Fragnière will take over as head of region Suisse Romande
from Christian Steinmann with effect from the start of August,
the Zurich-listed bank said. Nicolas Vaccaro will become the new
head of private banking for this region from the start of
October.
The current regional head and private banking head for the
Romande region, Christian Steinmann, has decided to take up a new
challenge as head of private banking and executive board member
at Banque
Cantonale Vaudoise.
“As the head of Swiss large corporates in French-speaking
Switzerland, Steve Fragnière is highly familiar with the Region
Suisse Romande. He has 20 years of experience in client business
at Credit Suisse and is ideally qualified to manage and further
develop the region,” André Helfenstein, CEO of Credit Suisse
(Switzerland), said. “I would like to express my heartfelt thanks
to Christian Steinmann for his decades-long commitment to our
bank. He is a strong leader, who has been instrumental in
ensuring the continued success of Region Suisse Romande."
