Citi Private Bank (CPB) has named Gregor Bollen as head of its London-based Northern Europe team, replacing Dirk De Boer who will continue to lead the firm’s Monaco office.

Bollen, who has an experience of two decades in the financial services sector, most recently worked in the EMEA team at J.P Morgan Private Bank.

He managed the Dutch book and oversaw the start of Scandinavian and West Canada operations at JP Morgan, while also catering to the banks’ clients in the Caribbean, UK, Germany and Switzerland.

CPB also appointed Frederic Viaud to its London team, who too joins from J.P Morgan Private Bank.

In the new role, Viaud will be responsible for driving the growth of the bank’s European arm in France, Luxemburg and Belgium and developing its French speaking UK Resident Non-Domiciled business in London.

Commenting on the two appointments, CPB regional head for Northern Europe James Holder said: “Our presence across Europe continues to strengthen and we believe that Gregor’s wealth of industry experience makes him the perfect candidate to lead the team, while Frederic’s deep understanding of the region gives us a huge advantage, as we continue to focus on growth across our region.”
