Credit Suisse brings senior adviser to CEO into IR role

Former partner at Ondra succeeds IRO of three years Christian Stark

Adam Gishen, an investment banker who joined Credit Suisse in October last year to advise CEO Tidjane Thiam on ‘strategic realignment’, has been named as the global banking group’s new head of IR.

Based in Zürich, the newly appointed IRO succeeds former Cheuvreux analyst Christian Stark, who has been promoted after a three year tenure to head of group performance analytics and government.

An international studies graduate from the University of Leeds, Gishen worked at Lehman and subsequently Nomura for 10 years.

In 2009 he moved to Ondra Partners, a London-based capital markets boutique set up by former Lehman bankers, where he specialized in advising financial institutions. At Ondra he worked with clients including insurance major Prudential, where Thiam served as chief executive before Credit Suisse.
