Timeline
Sergio Pietro Ermotti (born 11 May 1960) is a Swiss manager and investment banker.
In April 2021, Ermotti was elected Chairman of Swiss Re, one of the world's largest reinsurance companies, succeeding Walter Kielholz.
Sergio Pietro Ermotti was born on 11 May 1960 in Lugano, Switzerland, an Italian-speaking city.
After secondary school he pursued aspirations of being a professional footballer or sports teacher.
Before turning 18 and enrolling in college to fulfill these aspirations, Ermotti decided to fill his time with an apprenticeship at the Cornèr Bank in Lugano to "get up to speed with accounting, finance, and so on".
Fascinated by foreign exchange trading, he started a training program in the Securities Department of the bank.
He received a Swiss federal banking expert diploma and, later in his banking career, graduated from the Advanced Management Program at Oxford University.
After his apprenticeship at the Cornèr Bank, Ermotti was later promoted to trading.
In 1986, Ermotti moved to Citibank in Zurich where he traded equity-linked products and later served as its Resident Vice President.
In 1987, he went on to the Swiss office of the US investment bank Merrill Lynch in Zurich, and stayed with the bank for 16 years.
He started with holding various positions in equity derivatives and capital markets, and contributed to the expansion of the capital market business of the bank in Switzerland.
In 1993, he was promoted to the position of managing director and moved to London being in charge of the European equity derivatives unit.
Three years later, in 1996, Ermotti relocated to New York, as a head of global derivatives trading where he also worked after his promotion to co-head of global equity markets and a member of the executive management committee for global markets & investment banking at Merrill Lynch.
He joined the Italian bank UniCredit in Milan in December 2005 as head of markets & investment banking after UniCredit had taken over German bank, HypoVereinsbank (HVB).
From 2007, he was UniCredit's deputy chief executive officer with responsibility for the strategic business area, corporate and investment banking and private banking.
Ermotti was a member of the board at the London Stock Exchange between September 2008 and July 2013.
When he was not offered the CEO position after the resignation of the then CEO Alessandro Profumo, he left Unicredit in October 2010.
He was the Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of UBS Group AG from November 2011 to October 2020 and regained that position in 2023.
He is also a board member of the Institute of International Finance.
Ermotti took over as Group CEO at UBS after the 2011 rogue trader scandal, implementing strict corporate policies governing community standards.
He initiated a major restructuring of the bank, redefining strategy, putting wealth management and Swiss business at its centre, alongside asset management and a more focused and capital-light investment banking.
Leading the firm for nearly a decade, he was the longest serving head of UBS.
Ermotti was appointed chairman and chief executive of UBS's Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) group, and became a member of the Group Executive Board in April 2011.
He was appointed interim Group CEO in September 2011, and permanently in November 2011.
In response to the 2011 UBS rogue trader scandal, Ermotti sent an internal memo stating: "I want to make clear that no one's personal interest nor any amount of revenue is worth more than the bank's reputation".
Because of his new responsibility as CEO, he resigned from his position as a president of Darwin Airline in 2011.
In 2012, he tapped a colleague from Merrill Lynch, Andrea Orcel, to lead UBS's investment banking arm, eventually assisting him in navigating the 2013 Libor trading scandal, a major corporate restructuring, and a major expansion of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity.
