Neil De Sousa Takes Helm at Schroders Wealth Management

De Sousa’s appointment forms a central pillar of a broader leadership reshuffle within the UK-headquartered group. In his new capacity, he will also serve as a member of the firm’s editorial board, leveraging his extensive background in international private banking. His previous tenure at HSBC saw him manage global private banking operations across the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia, alongside a specialized focus on UK clients residing in Switzerland.

Addressing the transition, De Sousa noted the firm's 220-year history while emphasizing the potential for growth following the Nuveen combination. He signaled a clear intent to deepen the Geneva platform’s capabilities and expand the firm's footprint in the Middle East, aiming to bridge client needs with the broader organization's expertise.
