Michaela Troyanov – an original member of the Board of Directors for PostFinance Ltd

Beat Rütsche succeeds Michaela Troyanov, who will step down at the end of September after 12 years on the Board of Directors, due to the statutory restriction on terms of office. She was an original member of the Board of Directors when PostFinance became a private limited company. Chairman of the Board of Directors Marcel Bührer thanks Michaela Troyanov for her longstanding commitment to PostFinance: “During her time on the Board of Directors, she has made a particularly valuable contribution in the field of compliance. As Chair of the Organisation, Nomination & Remuneration Committee, Michaela Troyanov has had a significant impact on PostFinance’s evolution in terms of corporate social responsibility. We want to continue on this track.”
