Oswald J. Gruebel, Group Chief Executive Officer of UBS commented on the changes: “Asia Pacific is a key strategic priority for UBS. Alex’s strong leadership, relentless client focus and proven track-record, combined with Chi Won’s in-depth industry experience, commercial success and understanding of the region will ensure that we will continue growing our leading franchise.”
Mr Gruebel added: “Alex and Carsten were instrumental in turning around the position of our Investment Bank. As such I am convinced that Carsten will continue leading the Investment Bank towards sustainable success in line with our mid-term targets.”
UBS in Asia Pacific has a broad, established footprint in 13 countries, with roughly 7,000 professionals.
