The new UK market head, Geneva, has established herself as a trusted advisor to notable UK and international clients over the course of her 30-year career.

Global wealth and asset manager Bank Lombard Odier & Co Ltd has appointed Kim Chatting as UK market head, Geneva, as of 1 September. She will report to Duncan MacIntyre, UK CEO of Lombard Odier Private Bank.

Chatting (pictured) is succeeding Dominic Tremlett who decided to step down as UK market head, Geneva, but will remain within the group to focus on serving his clients and supporting the UK Region to achieve its commercial ambitions.

As head of the UK team in Geneva, Chatting will be responsible for increasing and maintaining the strong growth already established in this key region for the group, as well as hiring new talent, the firm said.

A highly experienced private banker, Chatting has established herself as a trusted advisor to notable UK and international clients over the course of her 30-year career. She is joining Lombard Odier from Julius Baer in Geneva. Previously, Chatting spent six years as a director at Société Générale Private Banking where she built a strong book of clients with a UK nexus. As UK market head, she established and led a new, dedicated UK market desk, increasing asset growth and forging new initiatives that focused on UK domiciled and UK resident non-domiciled clients across many offices.

Chatting is a certified wealth management advisor, an associate of the Chartered Institute of Bankers. She holds a first class honours degree in financial services from London Guildhall University.
