Jörg G. Bucherer Foundation President Resigns Amid Health Concerns
Urs Mühlebach, President of the Jörg G. Bucherer Foundation Board, has stepped down from his role. His resignation takes effect at the end of 2025, citing health concerns as the primary reason. The move follows ongoing scrutiny from Swiss regulators over the foundation’s governance.
Mühlebach’s decision comes after medical advice to reduce his workload. His departure leaves a vacancy on the board, which oversees the estate of the late Jörg G. Bucherer, who passed away in 2023.
The foundation now faces the task of filling the leadership gap before the new year. The ESA’s oversight ensures compliance with governance standards, while Mühlebach’s exit marks a shift in the organization’s administration. Further steps will depend on whether the board meets staffing requirements in the coming months.
