In his new role, he will also become a member of the FINMA Executive Board, which will then comprise seven members. Mr Zdrenyk will take up his new position in the third quarter of 2011.
By appointing Andreas Zdrenyk, 51, who has proven his ability at various companies in IT, HR, operations and finance, FINMA has gained an internationally experienced expert for the COO position.

Both areas will prove challenging for FINMA in view of its growth and increased internal and external demands.
