Head of Communications leaves Credit Suisse
A major departure at the major bank Credit Suisse: Clarissa Haller, head of global communications, is leaving the company.
A spokesman for the bank confirmed the news to Handelszeitung. Shortly after the presentation of the new strategy, a high-ranking manager is leaving Credit Suisse. Haller is said to have lacked the support of Tidjane Thiam: The new Group CEO missed Haller's background in banking and was not very impressed with her, writes the Handelszeitung. Haller, who was poached from ABB in July 2014, tried to make CS communications more digital and pulled various ABB people after her, which is also said to have not been to Thiam's taste. Ad interim, media chief Christoph Meier will take over as global communications chief. (hae/pd)
