Swiss investment firm Mirabaud Group has appointed a global head of external asset management (EAM) teams in a drive to extend its reach across the multi-custodian wealth management market. Carel Huber joins Mirabaud's wealth management division, to be based at the firm’s Geneva headquarters, and will report to management partner and head of wealth management, Nicolas Mirabaud.

The move will be supported by a new digital ecosystem introduced by the Mirabaud private bank, according to the firm. 

Prior to this appointment, Carel held various senior executive management positions spanning a 15-year period at banks such as Credit Suisse and Societe Generale.

Huber will be responsible for expanding the segment across the group in cooperation with its wealth and asset management and corporate finance divisions.

Mirabaud said: “I am delighted that Carel has joined us as global head of EAM clients, for whom Mirabaud offers a tailor-made service through its focus on strong customer relationships.

“His managerial experience and extensive knowledge of the industry will be additional assets in serving this professional and demanding client segment.”

Huber added: “I look forward to working with Mirabaud’s EAM teams, applying the responsible, long-term approach that is an integral part of Mirabaud’s DNA, driven by its unique blend of tradition and innovation.”
