The head of trade solutions sales and advisory in the firm's private bank comes from rival UBS. Credit Suisse has made a number of senior hires in recent weeks.

Credit Suisse has named former UBS senior manager Emmanuel Triomphe as head of trade solutions sales and advisory for the private banking business in Asia-Pacific.

Triomphe has worked in the industry for 20 years, concentrating on managing trading solutions businesses across multiple asset classes. Prior to his new role, he worked at UBS Wealth Management where he was the head of global capital markets structured products, as well as head of the business known as APAC global markets specialists, across equity, fixed income, foreign exchange and direct access.

The role will see him report to Yves-Alain Sommerhalder, head of Asia-Pacific trading solutions with a dotted reporting line to Francois Monnet, head of private banking for North Asia and Benjamin Cavalli, head of private banking for South Asia.

Yesterday, this news service reported that Credit Suisse appointed Jing Wang as head of wealth management for the onshore China market. The role is a new one for the bank. Jing Wang has a functional reporting line to Francois Monnet, head of private banking for North Asia, with a regional reporting line to Zhenyi Tang, chief executive for China at the Zurich-listed banking group. She joined from China Merchants Bank. 

In another case, Credit Suisse (14 May) appointed private banking veteran Puneet Matta as head of wealth management for India, starting 1 June. He rejoined the Swiss bank from Union Bancaire Privée.
