Swiss Finance Institute: François Degeorge is the new Managing Director

François Degeorge, professor at USI since 2003 and current director of the Institute of Finance at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, is the new Managing Director of the Swiss Finance Institute and succeeds Prof. Claudio Loderer, University of Bern.

According to Olivier Steimer, Chairman of the foundation of the SFI, the appointment of Degeorge as the successor of Prof. Loderer Council, retired at the end of September 2016, is the result of "a wide-ranging search process that focused on a set of motivated and highly qualified candidates. " "Prof. Degeorge" adds Steimer, "is not just an academic recognized internationally, but also has a significant teaching and leadership experience. These factors, as well as its institutional mandate within the SFI since 2006, are the elements that make him the ideal figure for the role of Director of the Institute. "

He will officially take up his new position at SFI on November 15, 2016.
