Hannaford has replaced James Walker in the role, who will relocate to the US to become deputy chief executive of the Credit Suisse business in the region.
Hannaford will also join the Swiss multinational’s executive board and will be based in Zurich, Switzerland, reporting directly to chief executive Thomas Gottstein.
Hannaford spent almost 25 years at Goldman Sachs, starting out by developing and designing statistical research products in London, eventually becoming one of its most senior tech executives.
