VP Bank in Zurich is facing a crisis as a significant number of senior bankers, particularly those serving Central and Eastern European clients, have departed, raising concerns about the bank's future. The new Chairman, Stephan Zimmermann, faces challenges with operational management under Mara Harvey, who has been criticized for her leadership and the performance of her team. With ongoing departures and a leadership vacuum following the exit of CEO Paul Arni, the bank's stability is at risk, potentially leading to a sale if the trend continues.
