Credit Suisse said on September 6 that longtime executive Timothy O’Hara, a top lieutenant tasked with helping chief executive officer Tidjane Thiam restructure the European bank, is leaving the firm.

O'Hara, who in late 2015 was appointed CEO of the bank's global markets business, was let go and will be replaced by the current co-head of credit, Brian Chin, who will also join the executive board, according to people familiar with the firm's thinking.
