Investec Switzerland. Just a month ago, Credit Suisse CEO Tidjane Thiam and Deutsche Bank CEO John Cryan risked, as one hedge fund manager put it, becoming the dead men walking of European banking as they struggled to shore up their firms’ profitability. © Simon Zenger | Dreamstime.com Thursday’s results from Credit Suisse suggest Thiam may escape that fate while Cryan’s effort to revamp the German lender stalls.
