瑞信：Horta-Osorio辞职，Axel Lehmann接任董事长，立即生效
瑞信今天宣布，董事会已任命 Axel P. Lehmann 为新任董事长，立即生效。他接替António Horta-Osório，后者在董事会委托进行调查后辞职。
Horta-Osorio早前被传媒揭发，因两度违反新冠病毒防疫规则而被瑞信内部调查，包括于去年7月亲身到访英国观看温布尔登网球赛决赛，而按当时英国防疫要求，Horta-Osorio应须接受隔离。
Horta-Osorio发表声明指，自己数项行动令银行陷入困难，也令自己内部和外部代表瑞信的能力受损，感到遗憾，相信辞职符合瑞信和持份者利益。
Horta-Osorio去年4月才接手瑞信主席，带领瑞信面对Archegos 杠杆交易巨亏、以及供应链融资商Greensill Capital无力偿债的冲击。
瑞信董事会成员Axel Lehmann接手董事长职务。
Axel Lehmann was elected as a member of the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on October 1, 2021 and also became the Chair of the Risk Committee. He was formerly a member of the Group Executive Board of UBS Group, initially as Group Chief Operating Officer and then as President Personal & Corporate Banking and President UBS Switzerland. Between 2009 and 2015, Mr. Lehmann served as a non-executive director and a member of the Risk Committee of UBS Group and was a member of the Governance and Nominating Committee from 2011 to 2013.
His career at Zurich Insurance Group spanned almost 20 years, nearly 14 of which were as a member of the Group Executive Committee in various roles. These include responsibility for the insurer’s European and North America business, group IT and as Chief Risk Officer.
