Zurich, 27 April 2026 – The Board of Directors of TradeXBank has appointed Florian Lang as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 June 2026, succeeding Camille Sednaoui.
The Board's decision to bring in new leadership at this moment is a deliberate and strategic one. After careful consideration, the Board has mutually concluded with Camille that the time is right to open a new chapter for the bank under renewed leadership.
Florian Lang joins TradeXBank from UBS, where he was a senior member of the Commodity Trade Finance team. Prior to that, Florian Lang held a series of senior leadership positions in the same field at Credit Suisse. He is a highly respected corporate leader and banker with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Camille Sednaoui will remain with the bank until the end of May working closely with Florian Lang to ensure smooth and seamless transition.
Philippe Clémençon, Chairman of the Board of TradeXBank: “On behalf of the Board, I want to personally thank Camille for everything he has given to this organization. He has led TradeXBank through a critical transformation. The bank is now in a more stable position. I wish him all the best for his future endeavors.
He continues: “The Board and I are firmly convinced, that Florian is the right leader to guide this firm into its next chapter. We are very much looking forward to collaborating with him, to further evolve TradeXBank as a well-respected provider of financial solutions for the commodity trade industry. I have no doubt that Florian has the experience, the judgment, the drive and the character this role demands.”
The appointment of Florian Lang remains subject to FINMA’s approval.
At the same time, Viviane Gabard has decided to step down from her role as CRO and leave the firm to pursue opportunities outside the firm. Her successor will be announced in due course. Victor Gusev will assume risk responsibility on an interim basis.
