Alibaba News Channel – Swiss banking group Julius Baer appointed Boris Collardi as new chief executive of its private banking unit, a permanent replacement for Alex Widmer, who committed suicide in December.
Collardi, born in 1974 and currently chief operating officer of the private bank unit Bank Julius Baer, takes over from Johannes de Gier, who served as interim CEO following Widmer’s death.
"Mr. Collardi is young, not quite in his mid-30s, and he took over the COO position at a very young age, but I’m sure board wouldn’t have chosen him if that had been a caveat," said Kepler Capital Markets analyst Mattias Bueeler.
