Swiss private bank Lombard Odier has appointed Lucien Jeannin as its head of strategy and business transformation, private clients, to lead strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing client experience, operational excellence and long-term growth in Asia.
Based in Singapore, he joins the Asia private clients executive committee and reports to Omar Shokur, regional head for Asia, private clients.
Jeannin brings 20 years of experience and joins from Credit Agricole Indosuez Wealth Management, where he served as chief of staff for Asia. In his new role, Jeannin will focus on driving transformation projects and supporting the leadership team in business development and client strategy in the Asia region.
In addition, Lombard Odier has appointed two new bankers to its private clients team: Caroline Lee as senior relationship manager and Justin Kwok as relationship manager.
Lee brings more than 23 years of experience in wealth management and family offices. She was most recently executive director at Naga Capital Partners, a multi-based family office, where she advised ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families on succession planning and managed their portfolios. Prior to this, she held key positions at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, DBS Private Bank, Citibank and HSBC.
With extensive experience in the region, particularly the Taiwan market, Lee will further enhance Lombard Odier’s bespoke advisory offerings in Asia. She reports to Alfred Low, head of North Asia markets, private clients.
Kwok will support the expansion of client relationships across the Southeast Asia region, with a particular focus on Thailand. He joins with close to 20 years of regional expertise, having held a variety of positions at institutions, including HSBC and National Australia Bank.
He was most recently director at Citibank International Personal Bank, focusing on offshore Thailand and the UAE. He will contribute to Lombard Odier’s growth in key markets in the region and reports to Andrea Meierhofer, head of Southeast Asia market, private clients.
Shokur notes: “[Jeannin, Lee and Kwok’s] strong expertise and solid experience underscore our commitment to investing in top talent in the region in order to match our regional growth and continue to add long-term value to our private clients.”
