Why us
What sets us apart
01
We do one thing
Private Banking and Wealth Management, exclusively. No generalist recruiters. No volume plays. Every conversation is sector-fluent from the first minute.
02
We read the business plan
Before any introduction, we validate AUM composition, wallet share, and realistic transfer potential. Banks get bankers who will actually land.
03
We count bankers who stayed
More than 90% of Executive Partners placements remain with the hiring institution after 12 months. We measure outcomes, not CVs sent.

Discreet handling from first contact to day one. No speculative approaches or profile circulation. Candidate information is shared only with explicit consent.

Front-office fluent
Our team has sat in front of clients. We understand non-solicit clauses, cross-border tax implications, and what a CHF 300M book actually looks like.
06
A network, not a database
Supported by former private banking heads, compliance specialists, and market intelligence partners across Geneva, London, Dubai, Riyadh, and Singapore.
