Banque Piguet Galland is pleased to announce the appointment of Marc Siegel as Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and member of its Executive Committee. He will take up his position in August 2025.
With over twenty years of experience in risk management and compliance, Marc Siegel has built an outstanding track record within leading Swiss financial institutions. Until recently, he served as Group Head of Compliance at Pictet, where he led compliance teams across all business lines in an environment marked by increasing regulatory demands and profound transformations in the banking sector.
A qualified attorney and graduate of the Swiss Finance Institute’s Executive Program, he began his career at FINMA (then the Swiss Federal Banking Commission) before joining EY in Geneva as a Senior Manager. He is also an active contributor to several academic programs focused on compliance and banking innovation, notably at the University of Geneva and HEC Lausanne.
This appointment comes at a time when rigorous management of regulatory, operational, and reputational risks is central to Piguet Galland’s strategic agility.
“We are very pleased to welcome Marc Siegel to our Executive Committee. His experience and ability to navigate regulatory complexity with both rigor and pragmatism are tremendous assets for our institution. I would also like to warmly thank Carine Casteu for her exemplary commitment over the past years. She has successfully fostered a healthy and constructive risk culture, in support of the excellence of our advisory services,” said Olivier Calloud, CEO of Piguet Galland.
Marc Siegel added: “I am honored to join Piguet Galland and to contribute to its ambitious and forward-looking vision of what the Bank calls ‘intimate banking,’ preserving its human values and deep-rooted heritage.”
