Zurich Cantonal Bank appoints Christoph Weber as its new head of private banking, The Wealth Bulletin reports.
Weber joins from Banca del Gottardo, where he was head of Northern private banking for the Lugano-based bank. He will join ZKB in September, the bank says.
Weber replaces Hans-Heiri Sprri, who is retiring.
A spokesman says Weber’s appointment was part of giving private banking more prominence at ZKB. “Under Weber our private banking business will now operate as a separate entity, broken out from its previous link with our investment banking unit,” he says.
