Coutts & Co has appointed Nathalie Ladrak-Malfeyt as a private banker to high net worth clients across Northern Europe with a focus on Scandinavia, in a bid to expand the firm’s exposure in the region.

Ladrak-Malfeyt joins the private banking house from the Netherlands-based Mees Pierson where she was a senior investment advisor to private wealth clients. She has also worked in Bangkok and Singapore. She will report to Yvonne Marr and work alongside Nicholas Toubkin.

“We have long viewed Scandinavia as a good market for Coutts and we are committed to growing our presence in the region. Our Scandinavian clients look to Coutts to guide them on how to best invest their assets to achieve global investment exposure,” said James Fleming, head of International Private Banking at Coutts.
