Zurich - Robert Benmosche, who starts this week as the new president and CEO of American International Group Inc, has stepped down from Credit Suisse Group's board with immediate effect, the Swiss bank said on Monday.
The former chairperson and chief executive of insurance company MetLife Inc takes the helm at AIG on Monday.
Credit Suisse chairperson Hans-Ulrich Doerig said Benmosche, 65, had made a "significant contribution" during his seven years as member of the bank's board.
"The experience and judgment he shared with Credit Suisse have been very important over the last two years as the bank has successfully navigated through the difficult challenges in the global marketplace and the financial system," Doerig said.
Credit Suisse this year overtook its main rival UBS AG as Switzerland's largest bank by market capitalisation, profiting from its lower exposure to the troubled US sub-prime market and a faster turnaround in its investment banking unit.
