Chairman of the board of directors of SIX, Peter Gomez will be stepping down form his current position.
Alexandre Zeller, current CEO at HSBC Private Bank, Switzerland, will be taking over the role.
Gomez will retire from his role at the general meeting of shareholders at the end of May 2013.
Gomez said: "After seven years at the helm of the financial centre infrastructure, this is exactly the right time for me to step aside. SIX today occupies a strong competitive position internationally. The merger was successfully implemented, and a strategy for the future has been mapped out. These are solid foundations for the successful further development of SIX. However, until the reins are handed over next May, my full commitment will continue to be required."
