Enlarged Swiss Bank Names New Asia Head
A private bank, recently enlarged by an acquisition, has a new head in Asia.
Union
Bancaire Privée, the Geneva-headquartered bank that acquired
the international private bank of Royal Bank of Scotland earlier
this year, has announced a new head for its Asia
business.
Michael Blake will relocate to Asia to head the firm, UBP
confirmed to this publication yesterday.
David Lam, Coutts’ head of North Asia, and Ranjit Khanna, the
bank’s head of South Asia, Middle East and global non-resident
Indian (NRI), will both continue to report to Blake, UBP
confirmed.
Earlier this year, Blake was appointed as chief executive of
Coutts & Co, based in Zurich and given the job of heading up the
integration of UBP and Coutts in Switzerland.
