Geoffroy Dedieu, managing director of family services at Julius Baer in Singapore, has left the company, WealthBriefing can exclusively report.

Mr Dedieu joined from Fortis in 2006 where he had been for three years. WealthBriefing understands that Mr Dedieu is moving to London to set up a family office.

Julius Baer declined to comment on the move.

Singapore continues to be an important recruitment point for Julius Baer, meanwhile. Earlier this year, it announced that Thomas Meier, its chief executive for the Asia, Middle East and Eastern Europe regions and a member of the bank’s executive board, was relocating from Zurich to Singapore. It has also recruited relationship managers from rivals such as UBS and Goldman Sachs.
