UBS announced yesterday the appointment of Chi-Won Yoon as chairman and CEO of Asia-Pacific with immediate effect. He succeeds Rory Tapner who, after 25 years, is leaving UBS.
Although Tapner could not be reached for comment, colleagues say their understanding is that he plans to do "good works". As one colleague put it: "If he joins a competitor, I'd eat my hat."
