Serving in a number of roles, the joiner comes to a firm that was founded in 2014 and which has a strong line of business serving clients in the Middle East.

AlphaSwiss, a Geneva-based asset management firm, has appointed Daniel Elias as a partner, deputy CEO and chief operating officer. His appointment takes effect from 1 April.

The firm also picked up an award in yesterday's WealthBriefing Annual External Asset Management Awards programme.

Elias has more than 25 years of experience at some of the most prestigious private banks, including Edmond de Rothschild and Lombard Odier, where he served as a member of the executive committee. 

“The arrival of Daniel Elias marks a new chapter in the evolution of AlphaSwiss. His deep industry expertise and strategic insight will enrich our firm, strengthen our ability to navigate an increasingly complex environment while remaining true to our principles of independence, excellence, and long-term value creation,” Yann Labry, founding partner, AlphaSwiss, said. 

The business, which was founded in 2014, serves an international clientele, with a strong presence in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia.
