Credit Suisse Group has hired Dixit Joshi as its new CFO and Francesca McDonagh as the group COO in a reorganisation of its top leadership.

Both Joshi and McDonagh will become members of the bank’s executive board and operate out of Zurich, Switzerland.

The Swiss lender also appointed Michael J Rongetti as the ad interim CEO of its Asset Management unit.

All the three newly named employees will report directly to Credit Suisse’s group CEO Ulrich Körner.

Rongetti replaced the Asset Management unit’s current CEO Francesco De Ferrari, who has been named as CEO of the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. Ferrari has been working in the newly appointed position on an ad interim basis since January this year.

Joshi, who has rejoined Credit Suisse, is expected to take charge of his new role as CFO on 1 October this year. He will take the position of the current CFO David Mathers, who has decided to stand down from his role after a duration of over 11 years.
