New Hong Kong CEO in 2015
In August last year the Edmond de Rothschild Hong Kong branch appointed Jing Zhang Brogle as the new CEO. Brogle was brought in to further develop the private banking business and product offerings utilising her own experience working in the multi family office area, and to build the business.
Zhang Brogle was head of Greater China at Swiss bank Vontobel where she set up its Asian private banking platform. Prior to that, Zhang Brogle worked for UBS Wealth Management in Switzerland as a senior advisor.
The new hire will strengthen the ambition of the bank in working closely with UHNW families across Asia, many of who are now experiencing generational transfers of wealth.
