This week’s overview of people transfers and appointments in and around Luxembourg includes updates from Quintet Private Bank, Banque Raiffeisen and PWC Luxembourg.
Hugo Bänziger appointed chair of Quintet Private Bank board
Hugo Bänziger has been appointed chair of the board of directors at Quintet Private Bank, effective June 10. Bänziger succeeds Rory Tapner, who served as chair from 2020 until the end of 2024.
His appointment had been anticipated, following Quintet’s confirmation earlier this year that a permanent successor to interim chair Marco Mazzucchelli had been identified and would be announced shortly.
Mazzucchelli, who served as interim chair, remains on the board. His interim role followed the end of Tapner’s five-year tenure, during which Quintet focused on executing a multi-year strategy aimed at consolidating its cross-border operations.
Bänziger previously held senior positions at several financial institutions. He was a member of the management board at Deutsche Bank, a partner at Lombard Odier & Cie. in Geneva, and chair of the board at Eurex Group. He also worked at the Swiss Federal Banking Commission and held roles at Credit Suisse in both London and Zurich. In addition to his new role at Quintet, he continues to serve in various non-executive and advisory capacities.
A Swiss national, Bänziger earned a doctoral degree in modern history and constitutional law from the University of Bern. He has held academic positions at the London School of Economics, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore, and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
Quintet, headquartered in Luxembourg and operating across Europe and the UK with domestic private bank brands such as Puilaetco in Belgium and InsingerGilissen in the Netherlands, is fully owned by Precision Capital, a Luxembourg-based firm controlled by members of Qatar’s Al Thani family.
