The Board of Directors of Julius Baer Group Ltd. will propose Juerg Hunziker for election as new member of the Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on 13 April 2023. He will complement the Board, as Heinrich Baumann, who is about to reach the maximum term limit for Julius Baer Board members, will not stand for re-election and Ivo Furrer is also not seeking re-election after serving since 2017. All other current members of the Board of Directors, which will newly consist of nine members, will stand for re-election at the upcoming AGM.
Romeo Lacher, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Julius Baer, said: “I would like to thank Heinrich and Ivo on behalf of the entire Board for their most valuable contributions and collaboration. With their long-standing commitment and experience, they have provided important insights and significantly supported our Board. We wish them both all the best in their future endeavours.”
