There has been a flurry of senior management hires at the pan European bank.

In more shifts at the top, European private bank KBL epb has named Olga Miler as group head of marketing. It follows a raft of prominent hires in quick succession at the pan European banking group. Earlier this month, the bank hired industry veteran Emmanuel Fievet to join its group executive committee and take up a leadership role at the bank's base in Luxembourg. In September ex PwC and McKinsey executive Colin Price joined as group chief operating officer and former State Street CIO Bill Street came on as group chief investment officer. Both appointments followed confirmation in August of Jürg Zeltner as the new group chief executive.

The addition of Miler, a dual Czech-Swiss national, provides key marketing seniority as it steers under new leadership. Miler co-founded SmartPurse, a startup that provides financial tools for women and is a high-profile figure in financial services with specialist experience in sustainability, gender-smart investing, and women and finance.

Before SmartPurse, she spent more than a decade in a number of roles at UBS, including global program architect of the Swiss bank’s strategy for women; managing director and head of UBS Wealth Management marketing in Europe; and executive director in the bank’s UHNWI division. She has also served at Nestlé and PwC.

Commenting on the bank’s forward momentum, Miler said: “I’m convinced that our group will challenge the status quo by reducing complexity, extending insight and focusing on what really matters: introducing an approach to investing that puts people centre stage and empowers them to make the most of their wealth, however they define it.” She will split her time between Zurich, London and Luxembourg, the firm said.

KBL operates across 50 European cities under a number of domestic brands, including boutique wealth management firm Brown Shipley in the UK. It reported €72.6 billion (£65.4 billion) in assets under management at the end of December 2018.
