BSI Singapore Appoints New Acting CEO

This publication brings latest news on moves and hires in the Asia-Pacific wealth management industry.
BSI, the
Switzerland-headquartered private bank that is in the process of
being acquired by fellow Swiss firm EFG International,
said today that Renato Cohn, a board member, has been named
acting chief executive for BSI Singapore.
The appointment is subject to regulatory approval.
Cohn takes the helm from Raj Sriram, who is the current acting
CEO. He has decided to leave the bank and spend more time
with his family, BSI said in a statement. Sriram has been with
BSI since 2009.
“Renato’s appointment underscores the strategic importance of
both Singapore and the Asian markets for BSI and he will further
improve the strong expertise of our local team,” Stefano Coduri,
group CEO of BSI, said.
Cohn has been a member
of the group executive board of BSI and head of ultra-high net
worth development since September 2015. He has almost 20 years of
experience in the banking industry, where he held several senior
positions.
Before joining the bank, Cohn was co-head of BTG Pactual Wealth
Management from 2009 to 2015. Before that, he served in senior
positions at BTG Pactual as head of product and services and head
of sales management at UBS Pactual. Cohn joined BTG Pactual and
became a partner in 2004.
Previously, he worked at Banco Matrix as a head of the fixed
income trading desk.
