After more than a decade with Swiss private bank, a managing director at Asia Pacific CEO office steps down to start his own business.
Johan Riddergard leaves UBS Wealth Management where he held various posts in the business development department of the bank for almost 12 years, based in Singapore. Riddergard has left to set up a business venture, Riddergard & Partners, working with private banks in Singapore.
When contacted, a spokesperson from the bank confirmed the departure.
Prior to this position, Riddergard held various roles at the Swiss major, including head of strategy and business development and head of pricing management for the Asia Pacific region, based in Hong Kong and Singapore. Before his decade-long career with UBS Wealth Management, Riddergard worked with Winterthur Life, a subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group until it was acquired by AXA in 2006 as the regional business development officer for two years in Hong Kong and at Mc Kinsey as their engagement manager based in Stockholm, Sweden and Hong Kong for five years.
UBS Wealth Management topped both of Asia Private Banker’s assets under management (AUM) and RM (Relationship manager) headcount league tables for 2013 standing at US$245 billion and 1032 RM’s respectively.
