Taurus Group has added a prominent private banker to its board of directors, a banker who also is member of the supervisory committee of Credit Suisse.
Geneva-based Taurus elected Christian Gellerstad (pictured below) to the supervisory board. He will support the firm in the development of conduct, control and governance, the company said in a statement on Monday.
From 2007 through 2018, Gellerstad was chief executive for wealth management at Pictet and an equity partner. The citizen of Sweden earlier this year was also elected to the board of Credit Suisse, Switzerland’s second-largest bank.
Taurus is a fintech that provides financial firms with blockchain infrastructure. Vontobel for instance uses storage solutions provided by Taurus for wealth management services in cryptocurrencies.
