, the Switzerland-headquartered private banking group, has appointed Jing Zhang Brogle to the role of chief executive for its Hong Kong branch. 

Her new post is the same position that had been vacated by the departure of Monique Chan, who has left the firm.

Brogle takes up the role on 1 August and reports to Emmanuel Fievet, head of international private banking at Edmond de Rothschild Group. 

Most recently, Brogle founded a multi-family office business, which Edmond de Rothschild said would be integrated into its business. “The integration of this Multi Family Office business will enhance Edmond de Rothschild’s value proposition in Asia. This acquisition provides us with the added capabilities to deliver our premium offering to clients in Asia. I am confident that with Jing’s many years of relevant expertise, she will lead our private banking team to deliver even greater value to our clients and their families in Asia,” Fievet said in the statement.

A Swiss national, Brogle has 14 years’ experience in private banking and asset management. She worked for Bank Vontobel as Head of Greater China where she set up the group’s Asian private banking platform at the Hong Kong-based Vontobel Asia Pacific Limited from 2009 to 2012 and was subsequently appointed CEO, Managing Director and Board Member of Vontobel Wealth Management Hong Kong. 

Prior to that, Brogle worked for UBS Wealth Management in Switzerland as Senior Client Advisor from 2006 to 2009. She began her financial career with Vontobel Asset Management in Switzerland, where she held various positions as investment strategist, fund analyst and portfolio manager between 2001 and 2006. 

Edmond de Rothschild, which was founded in 1953, had at the end of last year SFr163 billion of assets under management and 2,700 staff across 30 offices.
