He will assume charge of Julius Baer (Middle East) immediately, subject to approval by the local regulator, and will report to region emerging markets head Remy Bersier.

Burger joined the Swiss bank a decade ago. He already served for five years in Dubai, including three years as COO for Julius Baer (Middle East).

“I am delighted that Régis will take on the responsibility to further drive our business out of Dubai. His appointment shows continuity and demonstrates the importance of our hub in Dubai as growth platform for the emerging markets. I would like to thank Juerg for his significant contribution,” Bersier said.
