Swiss National Bank official Andrea Maechler will leave to become deputy general manager at the Bank for International Settlements, the most senior woman ever appointed there.
She will exit the SNB at the end of June after eight years. Maechler will take up her new job in September after the retirement of the incumbent, Luis Awazu Pereira da Silva, the Basel-based institution said in a statement on Monday.
