Andreas E.F. Utermann, chair of the board of directors of Vontobel, stated: ‘‘In terms of their credentials, Georg Schubiger and Christel Rendu de Lint both bring with them many years of investment expertise, international client, and market experience, and Swissness. During their careers, they have both demonstrated Vontobel’s values and have assumed responsibility. And finally, they both demonstrate a collaborative style of leadership.’’
Staub will remain on hand to assist the co-CEOs up until the general shareholder meeting in April 2024 in order to facilitate a seamless handover.
“I am pleased that after two decades of management responsibility at Vontobel, I will be able to hand over the reins to Christel Rendu de Lint und Georg Schubiger at the end of this year. Over the coming weeks and months, I look forward to supporting them both as they take on this additional role,” said Staub, CEO Vontobel.
