The appointment of the new CEO and reorganization are also part of the efforts to quash the speculations that Credit Suisse could either be put up for sale or broken up.

The review will assess all the options for its securitized products business so the bank can attract third-party capital while maintaining its adherence to asset management.
“I am delighted to welcome Ueli as our new Group CEO, to oversee this comprehensive strategic review at a pivotal moment for Credit Suisse,” Credit Suisse’s chairman, Axel P. Lehmann, said in a press release. “With his profound industry knowledge and impressive track record, Ueli will drive our strategic and operational transformation, building on existing strengths and accelerating growth in key business areas.”

In any case, Lehmann also thanked Thomas for his service through the release. “I would like to thank Thomas for his commitment to Credit Suisse over more than two decades and in particular as Group CEO,” he said.
Finally, the chairman mentioned that Thomas has made a big contribution to the company "and always served our clients in Switzerland and beyond with integrity and entrepreneurial spirit. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
