Piguet Galland, a private bank in western Switzerland, strengthens its private client team with seven new hires who are moving from Credit Suisse and UBS to the subsidiary of the Cantonal Bank of Vaud.
Private bank Piguet Galland hires seven new private client advisors, five of whom previously worked in private banking at Credit Suisse and two at UBS to serve clients at the Lausanne, Neuchâtel, Nyon, and Geneva regional offices.
The firm said the additional staff will help it with its growth ambitions and underline its strategic goal of a broader local presence, according to a statement Thursday.
Decades of Experience
Joining the existing Lausanne team are Jérôme Morel, Thierry Schneeberger, Xavier Delaloye, and Irina Ramanantsoa. Alessandro Maggiore joins in Neuchâtel, while Thomas Rochat will work in the Nyon branch, and Xavier Francey will advise clients in Geneva and the region.
Schneeberger worked at Credit Suisse since 2006, with a stint in Hong Kong, and was most recently a senior client advisor in Lausanne. Morel was a senior client advisor for the Lausanne-Montreux region at UBS, and Maggiore served private clients in wealth management in Neuchâtel and La Chaux-de-Fonds at UBS.
From UBS to Credit Suisse
Delaloye also has many years of experience. After working at UBS and the private bank Edouard Constant, he moved to Credit Suisse in Lausanne in 2006. Ramanantsoa joined Piguet Galland as a junior wealth advisor together with Delaloye and Schneeberger.
Rochat has worked in client services for over 15 years, first at UBS and then at Credit Suisse in the Lake Geneva region. Francey has also worked for both major banks and can draw on more than two decades years of experience, including the past twelve years at Credit Suisse.
