John A. Williamson, Chairman of EFG International:

”The Board would like to thank Joe Straehle for his outstanding service in both initiating and successfully executing the BSI acquisition and integration. We wish Joe the very best for his wellrdeserved retirement. At the same time, the Board is delighted that in Giorgio Pradelli we have a natural and proven successor who can ensure a smooth leadership transition and take the combined EFG business to the next stage of its development. The Board also extends a very warm welcome to Dimitris Politis who, owing to his previous experience and close collaboration with Mr. Pradelli, together with his intimate knowledge of EFG Group is ideally qualified for the CFO role.”

Joachim H. Straehle:

“Since 2015, the management team and I successfully executed on our strategic
priorities, focusing on growth, efficiency and a strong management and performance culture at EFG. The BSI acquisition reflects this strategic direction, and now, with the integration process coming to a close, it is a natural step for me to hand over my CEO responsibilities to a highly qualified leader. It has been both fascinating and a privilege to lead EFG through this transformational phase, and I would like to thank all our employees for their commitment and the Board of Directors for their trust.”

Giorgio Pradelli:

“I am honoured to be taking the helm at EFG at this very important moment. The integration process is fully on track to be concluded prior to the year end and the related synergy realisation proceeds as per plan thanks to the outstanding endeavours of our dedicated employees. Going forward, my focus will be on leveraging our increased scale following the transformative acquisition of BSI and, based on our entrepreneurial model, further strengthening our distinctive market positioning as one
of the largest Swiss private banks. I am convinced that our new positioning will be to the benefit of our clients, investors and employees alike.”
