The Board of Directors of Bellevue Group and CEO Urs Baumann have decided by
mutual agreement that a new CEO will guide the company through its next phase of
development. This decision ensures full alignment between the Board of Directors
and Executive Board regarding the corporate vision and strategy of Bellevue
Group. After three successful years at the helm, Urs Baumann will be leaving the
Bellevue Group at the end of April to pursue a new entrepreneurial challenge.
André Rüegg will assume operational management of the Group ad interim.
Under Urs Baumann's leadership Bellevue Group underwent a compelling
development. In particular Urs Baumann and his team achieved the smooth
transition of management responsibility for Bellevue Group from its founders,
restored the company's profitability as well as significantly increased assets
under management and recurring revenues. In the words of Dr. Thomas von Planta,
Chairman of the Board of Bellevue Group: "During Urs Baumann's time as CEO, the
company was adjusted to the new reality in the wake of the financial crisis and
a sound foundation for further profitable growth was laid. We are now entering a
new chapter in the Group's development. Together, the Board and Urs Baumann
arrived at the conclusion that the next steps should be taken under new
leadership. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank Urs Baumann for his
great dedication and his contribution to the development and success of the
Bellevue Group. We wish him every success for his new entrepreneurial
endeavors."
André Rüegg will assume the responsibility of CEO ad interim. He is the current
head of Bellevue Asset Management and has been with Bellevue Group for more than
6 years. "André Rüegg is an executive with profound knowledge of Bellevue Group
and we are pleased to have him at the helm of the Group during this interim
period," remarks Thomas von Planta. The search for a new CEO of Bellevue Group
has been initiated.
