VP Bank Group Names New Head Of Liechtenstein Home Market
The firm believes that the new head of the Liechtenstein home market will bring the perspective of a younger cohort to Group Executive Management to shape the generation change on the client and employee side that is critical to success.
The board of directors of VP Bank Group have appointed Adrian Schneider as the new head of the Liechtenstein home market region and as a member of Group Executive Management, effective 1 August 2023. The appointment is subject to the approval of the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority (FMA).
Schneider has many years of management experience in the financial industry as well as comprehensive expertise in the investment business. As the new head of the Liechtenstein region (including BVI), Schneider will be responsible for the regional market and sales activities of the intermediary and private client business in the Liechtenstein home market (including BVI) as well as for the two fund companies in Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
Schneider was previously CEO of BZ Bank AG in Wilen, CIO and member of the board of directors of Graubündner Kantonalbank in Chur, and before that head of investment solutions and vice director at Kaiser Partner Privatbank AG in Vaduz. Schneider holds a master's degree in banking and financial management from the University of Liechtenstein as well as qualifications as a CFA (chartered financial analyst), FRM (financial risk manager), and CAIA (chartered alternative investment analyst). He has also completed the advanced management and leadership programme at Oxford University.
"In Adrian Schneider, we are gaining a personality who is rooted in the home market of Liechtenstein, which is important for us, and who is very well networked. As a representative of a younger generation, he brings this important perspective to Group Executive Management and will thus decisively shape the generation change on the client and employee side that is critical to success. I wish him every success in his new role and look forward to working with him," Paul Arni, group CEO of VP Bank, said.
