Christine Lynch has been appointed as Group Chief Risk Officer at Luxembourg-headquartered Quintet Private Bank. She joins from HSBC, where she served for over 25 years, most recently as chief risk officer wholesale and as head of enterprise risk.
Lynch will also be a member of Quintet’s Authorized Management Committee, subject to regulatory approval. She succeeds Philip Tremble, who retired last year following more than four decades in banking.
“Christine is a highly inclusive leader who brings to our firm a great breadth of experience across risk disciplines and global markets,” said Chris Allen, who himself was at HSBC for more than 15 years before joining Quintet in 2022 as Group CEO.
Lynch is a British national who holds a BSc in Financial Services from the University of Manchester and a BA in Modern Languages from the University of Bath.
Quintet serves a broad range of institutional and professional clients, including family offices, foundations and external asset managers, across Europe with private banking subsidiaries such as Brown Shipley in the UK, InsingerGilissen in the Netherlands, Merck Finck in Germany, Puilaetco in Belgium and under the Quintet flag in Denmark and Luxembourg.
