OBT AG regulates succession
Thomas Züger was elected as successor to Thomas Kade (acting CEO of OBT AG) at the partner meeting on May 31, 2016, effective October 1, 2017. It was important for OBT to tackle succession planning at an early stage.
Thomas Kade will retire at the end of September 2017 after more than 15 years as CEO. For this reason, the OBT partner meeting on May 31, 2016, elected Thomas Züger as his successor as of October 1, 2017.
Thomas Züger (born 1968) is a certified fiduciary expert and business economist. On June 1, 1996, he joined the then OBT Treuhand AG as a young management consultant. In the following years he built up a loyal client base through competence and professionalism. In 2000, Thomas Züger was promoted to member of the management team and in 2003 to head of Treuhand Schwyz. In 2008, he was appointed member of the executive board. Over the past years, he has been able to apply his strengths in fiduciary and tax consulting for SMEs. Thanks to his many years of banking experience, he also supports clients in financing issues and succession planning. Thomas Züger's background gives him the ideal qualifications to lead a consulting and IT company like OBT, according to a company statement.
