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.”

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.”
