Lombard Odier is expanding its business in German-speaking Switzerland with an experienced private banker.
Rolf Kohler took over as team leader in Lombard Odier's Swiss Domestic Markets division in Zurich on December 1. The expansion of the Zurich-based crew reflects the Geneva-based bank's strategy in German-speaking Switzerland, according to a statement Monday. Zurich is the private bank's second-largest location after Geneva.
Kohler brings many years of experience in institutional and private client business. At Credit Suisse, he served institutional clients as a senior relationship manager. Later, he built up a client book of wealthy and ultra-wealthy Swiss private clients at LGT Bank.
Substantial Reinforcement
He holds a Master of Science from the University of Zurich, is a Swiss Certified Financial Analyst and Wealth Manager AZEK and is a Certified Wealth Management Advisor CWMA. With Kohler, the bank has found a substantial reinforcement for its domestic business in Zurich, said Andreas Arni, Head of Markets Switzerland.
