Mauchle has been a member of VP Bank's group executive management since 2013. The group said he made a “significant contribution” to its growth, particularly internationally.

"With various strategic initiatives, Christoph Mauchle has succeeded in successfully aligning the client business and thus sustainably increasing profitability and competitiveness.
