Lombard Odier, the Geneva-based private bank, has hired Nannette Hechler-Fayd’herbe, a former research leader at Credit Suisse. She will be working for her former boss, Michael Strobaek, as the Head of Investment Strategy, Sustainability, and Research, as well as the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) at Lombard Odier. The news was announced to the bank’s employees on Thursday.
Hechler-Fayd’herbe will assume her new position on January 15, 2024, and will report to Michael Strobaek, who took over as the Chief Investment Officer at Lombard Odier in November. Strobaek is also responsible for the Investment Solutions department at the bank.
Strobaek and Hechler-Fayd’herbe are familiar with each other from their time at Credit Suisse. Strobaek was the long-time global CIO, while Hechler-Fayd’herbe served as the CIO for the EMEA region and Head of Economics & Research in the Wealth Management division of the bank. Hechler-Fayd’herbe was also known for her role in communicating the bank’s analyses and studies to the public.
In addition to her professional engagements, Hechler-Fayd’herbe has served as a board member of the Swiss Pension Fund of Credit Suisse and the International Capital Markets Association. She has also been a member of the advisory boards of the Faculty of Economics at the University of Zurich and the University of St. Gallen (HSG).
Hechler-Fayd’herbe will be working for Lombard Odier from both Geneva and Zurich. The Zurich office of the bank has attracted several high-profile former employees of the UBS, including Serge Fehr, who is responsible for the Swiss market, and Sabine Heller, who will oversee the Zurich market region.
Last October, Heller’s move to Lombard Odier created headlines nationwide, but it seems that the bank’s partners are undeterred. With the addition of Hechler-Fayd’herbe, they have once again tapped into the talent pool of the UBS subsidiary.
