Union Bancaire Privee's investment chief in private banking is leaving the Swiss bank, finews.asia has learned. UBP found a replacement – a veteran of the company.
«Jean-Sylvain Perrig has decided to leave the bank and pursue new career goals,» a spokeswoman for Union Bancaire Privée (UBP) confirmed to finews.asia. Perrig had been in the role for roughly two and a half years. He had been with UBP since 2000, except for an 18-month stint with Banque Privee Edmond de Rothschild in 2012 and 2013.
Perrig will be replaced by Norman Villamin (pictured above), currently Head of Investment Services and Treasury & Trading teams in Zurich, a position he will keep alongside his new role. In the new role, Villamin – who joined UBP as part of the Geneva bank's takeover of Coutts early last year – will report to Michaël Lok, UBP’s co-CEO of Asset Management.
