Ermotti rimescola le carte del personale chiave per l’ampliamento di UBS
Naratil will become the group’s Chief Financial Officer and lead the integration division that will oversee the Credit Suisse merger, the newspaper said, citing people it didn’t identify.
Bloomberg had earlier reported on the American’s possible return after leaving the bank late last year. In almost four decades at the firm, Naratil held a number of senior positions including CFO and co-head of wealth management.
UBS expects the takeover to close in May, but Chair Colm Kelleher previously said the integration may take as long as four years due to the challenges inherent in the deal’s complexity.

Why a monster UBS bank scares Switzerland
This content was published on
Some Swiss believe Credit Suisse should have been broken up and sold off in parts to foreign buyers to spread risk.
The newspaper said Ermotti is relying on other UBS veterans including wealth boss Iqbal Khan, UBS Switzerland President Sabine Keller-Busse, and UBS Chief Compliance Officer Markus Ronner. A UBS spokesman declined to comment.
UBS reappointed Ermotti as CEO earlier this month to oversee the historic acquisition of Credit Suisse after its rival collapsed. The Swiss lender said Ermotti was better suited to oversee the integration than his predecessor Ralph Hamers. Ermotti previously ran UBS as CEO from 2011 to 2020.
Ermotti is also considering André Helfenstein, the current CEO of Credit Suisse, to help spin off the bank’s Swiss business, according to the newspaper. It isn’t yet clear who will serve as Ermotti’s chief financial and legal officers, according to the report.
