Martin Naville has been appointed in conjunction with plans to grow the private investment office’s business in the Swiss market.
Naville will join former BP chief executive Lord Browne of Madingley, and chief executive of WPP, Sir Martin Sorrell, in their move to the company’s new premises on 1 November.
As current chief executive of the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce (Chamber), Naville has experience developing business relationships in both Switzerland and the US.
With offices in London and Geneva, Stanhope Capital is one of the largest private investment companies in Europe, overseeing investment assets totalling $9.5bn on behalf of wealthy entrepreneurs, families, charities and other institutions around the world.
Partner and managing director of Stanhope Capital Switzerland, Nicole Curti, said Naville’s wealth management expertise will “enhance our existing capabilities for the benefit of our Swiss and US-based clients.”
She added: “This is the latest milestone in Stanhope Capital’s expansion strategy in the Swiss market where we aim to gain significant market share over the next three to five years.”
