Julius Baer also hired Rafael Scotoni and Ernesto Gemma from Credit Suisse.

Gemma worked for 22 years at Credit Suisse.
Julius Baer also hired Ronald Dold and René Freiermuth for its new UHNWI team in Zurich this month. The pair most recently served as independent wealth managers.
Previously, Dold worked at UBS and HSBC, where he held senior private banking roles.
Freiermuth formerly served at Credit Suisse for 20 years, latterly as the head of client portfolio solutions for UHNW private and institutional clients for EMEA.
Moreover, this July, Julius Baer hired Chris Reinhardt for an existing team. Reinhardt formerly served as the senior RM at Credit Suisse, focusing on executives and entrepreneurs.
Julius Baer private banking head for Zurich, Eastern Switzerland & UHNWI Andreas Feller said: “All the new joiners bring with them deep experience and knowledge and position us well for our long-term growth ambition in Zurich and in the local UHNWI segment.”
Earlier this month, Julius Baer hired 10 former Credit Suisse bankers to expand its team in Portugal.
