Julius Baer Announces Board Changes with New Vice Chairman and Director

Julius Baer Group, the leading independent Swiss wealth management group, has announced significant changes to its Board of Directors. Richard Campbell-Breeden, the current Vice Chairman, will not seek re-election at the 2026 Annual General Meeting and will step down after eight years of service. His departure follows his successful leadership in recruiting both a new CEO and Chairman for the company, ensuring a smooth transition. He will be succeeded as Vice Chairman by Juerg Hunziker, subject to shareholder re-election. Sir Noel Quinn, Chairman of the Board, praised Campbell-Breeden's valuable contributions and expressed confidence in Hunziker, highlighting his 40 years of technology and financial services expertise, both internationally and in Switzerland, as well as his experience as a CEO building customer-focused organizations. This appointment ensures continued senior representation within Switzerland, a critical growth market where Julius Baer is headquartered.

In addition to this leadership transition, Julius Baer Group announced that Urban Angehrn has agreed to join the Board as an independent non-executive Director from the 2026 AGM, pending shareholder approval. Angehrn brings over 30 years of financial services experience in Switzerland, including recent roles as CEO of FINMA and as a member of the Executive Committee and Group Chief Investment Officer of Zurich Insurance Group. Sir Noel Quinn emphasized that Angehrn's extensive background in investment management, risk management, global financial markets, regulation, and corporate governance will strengthen the Board's oversight and enhance its experience in Swiss financial services. Further details on Board and committee composition will be provided in the AGM circular to be published in March.
