The appointment comes as the scandal-ridden Swiss banking group continues to overhaul of its asset management operations run by division CEO Ulrich Koerner.
Previously a UBS senior executive, Koerner was brought in by the bank to helm its asset management division after it was hit by the explosion of short-term debt fund Greensill Capital.
In a bid to limit the effect of the scandal, it also separated its asset management business from its international wealth management unit.
