According to the statement, Hässig joined UBS in 2005 and worked in advisory roles for corporate clients, institutional clients, and high-net-worth individuals. Most recently, he served as Head of Personal Banking in the Zurich Region and as Head of Corporate Clients for the Aargau & Solothurn Region. Prior to that, he was responsible for UBS's corporate client business in Zurich North.

Before his time at UBS, he worked at private bank IHAG Zurich and Zürcher Kantonalbank in customer acquisition and client management.

«I am delighted that we were able to recruit Stephan Hässig as the new Head of Corporate Clients,» said CEO Manuel Kunzelmann. «His many years of leadership experience in sales and his proven expertise in acquiring and developing corporate and private clients create ideal conditions to further develop Migros Bank’s corporate client business.»

Häner will return to focusing on leading the structured corporate finance business, which he has successfully built and expanded.
