André Helfenstein

André Helfenstein is poised to succeed Thomas Wellauer as the president of SIX Group, having previously served as the head of Credit Suisse Switzerland. Known for his solid track record during challenging times, he played a key role in the orderly dissolution of Credit Suisse before the UBS acquisition. Helfenstein's experience and familiarity with the Swiss financial infrastructure, having been on the board of SIX since 2020, position him well to lead the company through significant integration efforts following recent strategic acquisitions in Spain and the UK.
