Heinz Huber, the current Chairman of the Executive Board of Raiffeisen Switzerland, will be taking on a new role as Chairman of Graubündner Kantonalbank (GKB) starting July 1, 2025.
Huber has been instrumental in steering Raiffeisen through challenging times since January 2019. Under his leadership, Raiffeisen has stabilized and expanded its customer business across various sectors.
The Board of Directors at Raiffeisen has already begun the search for Huber's successor to ensure continuity in leadership. Christian Poerschke will assume the role of Chairman at Raiffeisen on January 1, 2025, while the search for a permanent successor is underway.
Heinz Huber brings a wealth of experience to his new role at GKB, having served in various leadership positions in the financial sector. His selection as Chairman of GKB is attributed to his extensive background and proven track record in the financial industry.
Peter Fanconi, the current Chairman of GKB, will continue to serve until the end of June 2025 to facilitate a smooth transition.
The proactive measures taken by both Raiffeisen and GKB in planning for leadership transitions highlight the importance of strategic foresight in the banking industry.
Huber's successful management of Raiffeisen during a challenging period demonstrates his capabilities, and his upcoming role at GKB is expected to bring a similar level of prudence and strategic vision.
The leadership change at Raiffeisen and the appointment of Huber at GKB reflect the increasing demand for experienced leaders in the Swiss banking sector.
