BENDURA BANK AG gains two new members of the Board of Management

At the beginning of the year, BENDURA BANK AG expanded its Board of Management from three to five members. After the appointment of Dr. Markus Federspiel as the new CEO in fall last year, the Board of Management of the fourth largest bank in the Principality has now been expanded by Mr. Thomas Ludescher and Mr. Philipp Forster. The two new members of the Board of Management were recruited internally, reflecting the continuity and sustainable personnel orientation of the bank. Philipp Forster, the new Chief Customer Officer (CCO), successfully managed the Representative Office of Bendura Bank in Hong Kong for many years. Thomas Ludescher was previously responsible for the Trading & Treasury division of the bank and in his new role as Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) he will now focus on the long-term strategy development of the bank.

CEO Dr Markus Federspiel is pleased about the reinforcement at Board level. “The new Board of Management enjoys the fullest confidence of the Board of Directors and in this constellation our bank is ideally equipped for a successful business year 2023 as well as future challenges,” says Markus Federspiel.

The responsibilities within the Board of Management are distributed as follows:

Dr. Markus Federspiel CEO
Thomas Ludescher Chief Strategy Officer (CSO)
Philipp Forster Chief Customer Officer (CCO)
Stefan MÄDER Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Marcel WYSS Chief Risk Officer (CRO)
