Chairman and Board of Directors
Under the leadership of the Chairman, the Board of Directors (BoD) decides on the strategy of the Group, upon recommendation by the Group CEO, exercises ultimate supervision over management and appoints all Group Executive Board (GEB) members. The Chairman of the Board presides over all general meetings of shareholders and works with the committee chairpersons to coordinate the work of all BoD committees. The committees shown in the graph assist the BoD in the performance of its responsibilities. These committees and their charters are described in the Organization Regulations, published at ubs.com/governance.

Group CEO and Group Executive Board
Under the leadership of the Group CEO, the GEB has executive management responsibility for the steering of the Group and its business and assumes overall responsibility for developing the strategies of the Group, business divisions and Group Functions and implements the BoD-approved strategies.
