At the start of 2023, Credit Suisse's Swiss IT operations will be under new management. The new boss is expected to drive the digitalization of the bank's operations and offerings.
Jesper Andersen takes the reins as head of IT Switzerland at Credit Suisse from January 1 next year and becomes a member of the executive board of Credit Suisse Switzerland as well as the Chief Information Officer Management Committee, the bank announced Wednesday in a media release.
Since 2017 Andersen has been CIO and a member of the executive board at Nykredit. Before that, he held various CIO roles at Nordea from 2012 to 2017 and senior technology roles at Goldman Sachs from 1998 to 2012.
