Private wealth and private banking.
Executive search for private banks, wealth managers and the businesses that serve ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families, from Geneva and London to Dubai, Singapore and New York.
Private banks and wealth managers
The leaders clients follow.
In private wealth, clients follow people. We find the leaders whose relationships, judgement and discretion a principal already trusts, and who will be trusted by the next generation.
Leadership
Chief executives, heads of private banking and wealth management, and country and market heads.
UHNW and family office coverage
Heads of UHNW, key-client and family office coverage, and the senior bankers who lead those teams.
Investment and advice
Chief investment officers, heads of advisory and discretionary, and heads of wealth planning.
Trust and fiduciary
Leaders for trust companies, fiduciary services and private client structuring.
Beyond the bank
Every business that serves a principal.
Luxury and lifestyle
Private-client, VIC and clienteling leadership for luxury houses, jewellers and watchmakers.
Aviation and yachting
Leaders for private aviation, superyacht management and charter businesses.
Art, property and collections
Leaders for art advisory, auction, prime property and collection management.
Sovereign and state-backed investors
Leadership across the luxury, hospitality and consumer holdings of sovereign and state-backed investors.
How we work
Trusted in confidence.
Senior private bankers are rarely looking, and never in public. Every approach is personal, discreet and made by the person who took the brief.
Senior people do the work
No briefing chain and no hand-offs, from the first conversation to the appointment.
Confidential by default
Code names where wanted, and no candidate profile shared without consent.
