As announced in March 2023, Swissquote's current COO, Lino Finini, will retire at the end of 2023.

Nestor Verrier was appointed to replace him as of 1 January 2024.

Nestor Verrier, born in 1979 in France and currently based in Luxembourg, has already successfully been serving as the General Manager of Swissquote Bank Europe since 2019. His 20-year career in international banking includes several leadership positions including in relation to operations, IT development and security analysis. He studied at the Université de Technologie of Belfort-Montbéliard and the Université de Lorraine (UFR Mathématiques, Informatique et Mécanique) in Metz and graduated with a Master's degree in management and information technologies.

"We are pleased to welcome Nestor as our new COO from January 2024", says Marc Bürki, CEO of Swissquote. "He is highly valued by our team for his leadership work. With his international and technologically oriented background, he was the natural successor of our COO, who will retire at the

end of the year."

Nestor Verrier will succeed Lino Finini, who has worked for Swissquote since 2001 in various leadership positions and as its COO since 2019. As already announced in March 2023, Lino Finini is stepping down to retire on 31 December 2023. Marc Bürki warmly thanks him for his significant contributions over two

decades: "Swissquote would not be where it is today without Lino's insightful, resolved leadership and

many successful initiatives. We wish him the best for the next chapter in his life."
