The chief executive of Zurich Life Singapore, Peter Huber, is to become the next chairman of the Swiss Business Association Singapore, taking the reins from Christian Pauli, who is stepping down to be vice chairman.

Huber has been vice chairman of the SBA Committee, which he has supported since 2013. 

The SBA, founded in 1988, aims to foster trade co-operation and business links between Switzerland and Singapore. Ironically, both jurisdictions are sometimes regarded as being in competition as global wealth management hubs.

~The SBA also voiced its thanks to Christian Huber, who will be relinquishing his committee membership, and also welcomes Manfred Rist, Southeast Asia Correspondent at Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung, as a new member of the committee. 

The SBA now has over 200 members.
