A top communications executive of Credit Suisse in New York is leaving the bank, which has launched a search to replace her.
Cristina von Bargen, a managing director who headed the bank’s Americas communications, is a well-known figure in Wall Street PR circles, according to the New York Times’ Dealbook blog, which first reported the exit. She is slated to step down in May and the bank said it hopes to have a replacement in place by the fall.
The move comes 14 months after Credit Suisse tapped former CNBC chief Pamela Thomas-Graham to a new post overseeing, talent, branding and communications in an effort to link its image with its workforce.
The Times cited unnamed sources who said Thomas-Graham is looking to install a new U.S. communications, leading to von Bargen’s exit.
