Private Banking Recruiter in Geneva
Executive Partners is a Geneva-based boutique focused exclusively on Private Banking & Wealth Management. We work with Senior Relationship Managers, Team Heads and Market Leaders across Switzerland and the major global hubs, with a specific focus on validated AUM portability, booking-centre relevance and P&L contribution.
Why Geneva is still a strategic private banking hub
Geneva remains one of Europe's most internationally connected wealth centres, hosting a dense network of Swiss private banks, foreign platforms, EAMs and family offices. The city combines FINMA-regulated booking stability with access to UHNW families across MEA, Southern Europe, LATAM and selected offshore markets.
Over the last 24 months, hiring demand has concentrated on:
- Senior RMs with proven portable UHNW/HNW books
- Team Heads with 200–500m+ CHF client mobility and clean track records
- Cross-border specialists (MEA, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy)
- Advisors with strong recurring advisory and DPM penetration
Banks in Geneva are increasingly focused on real revenue contribution, pricing discipline and onboarding quality rather than headline AUM alone.
