Carolin Roth X Beat Röthlisberger and Anna Feusi
Anything is possible: from bank apprentice to CEO
Beat Röthlisberger, CEO, and Anna Feusi, apprentice, discuss authentic leadership and why a plan is not always necessary.
Having started as an apprentice at what was then Bankverein, Beat Röthlisberger is now CEO of PostFinance and is convinced that such a career path is still possible, despite all the changes in banking. Anna Feusi, an apprentice at ZKB, is also fascinated by the career opportunities. However, she also has clear expectations of managers in terms of communication and support. An encounter between two generations, with honest insights into what motivation, responsibility and leadership really mean. And how important internal culture, values and attitude are.
The podcasts are available — by episodes — in German or French.
CEO of PostFinance
Beat Röthlisberger
Beat Röthlisberger has been CEO of PostFinance since 1 July 2024. The business economist began his career in the financial sector in 1992 at the Swiss Bank Corporation (SBC) in Basel. Until 2015, he held various positions at SBC and UBS. Among other things, he was Deputy Regional Head of Corporate Clients and Deputy Head of Credit Risk Management. From July 2017, he headed the Corporate Client Advisory division at BLKB as a member of the Executive Board, where he also took on the role of Deputy CEO in August 2021.
Apprentice at ZKB
Anna Feusi
Anna Feusi is currently completing her apprenticeship as a commercial clerk with a vocational baccalaureate at Cantonal bank Zurich (ZKB) and is about to graduate. She made a conscious decision to pursue an apprenticeship: the direct practical relevance and early entry into professional life were particularly important to her. To this day, she is convinced that she made the ideal choice. In her free time, she devotes herself intensively to dancing and spends a lot of time with her family and friends. Anna Feusi does not yet know what she will do after completing her apprenticeship. In any case, she wants to work in the financial sector.
