In the UK, FNZ underwent a notable transition as Andy Brodie assumed the role of group head, succeeding Alastair Conway, who moved to vice chairman of Client Coverage. Meanwhile, Lloyds Banking Group strengthened its institutional business by appointing Alessandro Cummunale as managing director for wealth and family office coverage. Institutional shifts also hit the asset management space; L&G promoted Emiel van den Heiligenberg to chief investment officer, while DWS consolidated its investment division under Vincenzo Vedda.
The Asia-Pacific region remained a hotspot for talent acquisition. Bank of Singapore significantly expanded its family office advisory team, bringing in Vi Sun Yang as head of private banking for the ASEAN region. HSBC also continued its regional expansion, naming Alfonso Gómez as CEO of its Swiss private bank and country head of Switzerland, alongside several key leadership appointments in China. In North America, the landscape was defined by institutional moves and team transitions: Northern Trust appointed Beata Kirr as CIO of its Global Family Office, while MetLife Investment Management tapped Andrea Drasites to lead its real estate and agricultural finance unit following the retirement of industry veteran Robert Merck.
