UBS Taps Agustin Carstens and Luca Maestri for Board Seats

Published at 2026-02-27 06:30:28

Swiss banking group UBS said on Friday it has put forward Agustin Carstens and Luca Maestri as candidates for its board of directors at the annual general meeting in April. Carstens, a longtime central banker and former BIS general manager, brings regulatory and monetary policy expertise, while Maestri offers experience from his role as Apple’s chief financial officer and deep corporate finance credentials.

The nominations signal UBS’s push to strengthen oversight with a mix of public‑sector regulatory knowledge and private‑sector technology and finance experience. Approval at the AGM is required before either candidate joins the board, and investors will watch for what the appointments imply about UBS’s approach to governance, risk and potential strategic priorities such as fintech and digital-asset engagement.
