Swiss sustainability pioneer Globalance appoints a new deputy CEO to strengthen its investment expertise and develop new business areas.
Globalance has grown strongly in recent years and wants to consolidate and expand its pioneering role by hiring Juerg Furrer in July to help drive those efforts, leaving founder and CEO Reto Ringger to focus on new growth initiatives.
The newly created position of Deputy CEO will allow the company to tap into additional customer segments, according to a media release Thursday.
Broad Experience
Among other things, Furrer will help to further expand investment expertise in relevant future topics, especially for family offices and foundations. He brings 23 years of investment experience and can look back on a broad range of experience in asset management, private banking, and external asset managers.
Most recently, he was Head of Wholesale at Fidelity International in Switzerland and Deputy Country Head at Pimco for several years. Before that, he was CIO and Head of Asset Management at Aquila Asset Management Group, responsible for portfolio management, advisory, investment funds, and investment strategy.
