Swiss Bank Names New Global India, Developed Markets Group Head

The new appointee is responsible for providing wealth management services to Indian Sub-continent and Non-resident Indian clients in Asia.
Julius Baer has
appointed Vijay Solomon as the new group head for global India
and developed markets, taking effect on 29 September.
This sub-region is a collaboration between onshore India and
offshore markets that create a global Indian business.
Six relationship managers will join Bank Julius Baer and report
directly to Solomon, who reports to Torsten Linke, head of global
India and developed markets. Together, they will provide
investment and wealth planning solutions for Indian clients in
Asia.
“Along with a large footprint of NRI-focused business, this India
onshore business gives Julius Baer a strategic advantage in
serving the Global Indian community – in India and around the
world,” the Zurich-listed bank said.
Prior to this, Solomon was most recently head of the NRI and
Japan international businesses operating from Hong Kong for
Credit Suisse. He was also one of the designated executive
officers for the Credit Suisse Hong Kong Branch. Prior to that,
he served in senior wealth management roles at DBS, Societe
Generale and ICICI Bank across Hong Kong and India. He has more
than 23 years’ industry experience.
