The Swiss private bank Maerki Baumann & Co. AG has put succession arrangements in place for its German business. Roger Arnet, who comes from within the bank, will take over his role as the new Head of Private Banking Germany on 1 January 2023. The private bank Maerki Baumann & Co. AG is to place responsibility for the German market in new but familiar hands. Roger Arnet (47) has worked at Maerki Baumann since 2018 as a Member of Senior Management and during the past two years has already served as Deputy Head of Private Banking Germany. He possesses more than 25 years of experience in the German business at Swiss banks, including at DZ Privatbank (Schweiz) AG and Union Bancaire Privée SA in Zurich. Roger Arnet will take over as Head of Private Banking Germany on 1 January 2023 from Gerald Lulei, who will step back from the operational business in Germany at the turn of the year as planned. He will, however, remain with us as Head of Lawyers & Fiduciaries. The German market has always been the most important foreign market for Maerki Bau-mann. As a proven private banking expert, Roger Arnet not only has outstanding knowledge of the German business, but is also an established member of our team, ensuring continuity in the support we provide to our German clients. Our thanks go to Gerald Lulei, who over recent years has succeeded together with his team in laying very good foundations for the further development of the German market. Dr Stephan A.
