I am pleased that Marcel Suhner has assumed responsibility for our important German- and Italian-speaking Switzerland markets. With his experience and understanding of the intermediaries client base, he is perfectly equipped to ensure that we serve them as a specialised B2B partner and to further strengthen our franchise.
