“He is therefore the ideal person to work on Group-wide pioneering initiatives and projects that will help us to shape the future of wealth management.

“I also look forward to welcoming Luigi Vignola, another internal talent, to our Executive Board. With his international experience, passion, and energy, I have no doubt that Luigi will take our Markets Division to the next level.”
