Lombard Odier Group has appointed Annika Falkengren (pictured) and Denis Pittet as managing partners.
Falkengren, currently president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB), will join the Lombard Odier Group in July this year based in Geneva.
Falkengren joined SEB in 1987 and became president and CEO of SEB in 2005. She is also chairman of the Swedish Bankers Association.
