Lombard Odier Group (“Lombard Odier”), a leading Swiss private banking group specialised in wealth and asset management, announces the addition of Rogerio Zanin and Juliana Lage to its office in São Paulo. Their extensive experience in wealth and relationship management will allow the Group to further develop its already solid presence in Brazil, which remains a core strategic market for the Firm. 

With almost 30 years of experience in the Brazilian financial market, Rogerio Zanin joins Lombard Odier from Julius Baer Family Office, where he headed the commercial area and was part of the Executive Committee. He was a Partner at GPS Investimentos prior to the company’s acquisition by Julius Baer. Before joining GPS Investimentos, Rogerio also worked at JP Morgan and Unibanco.

Juliana Lage also joins Lombard Odier from Julius Baer Family Office, where she held the position of Senior Relationship Manager. Prior to this, she also worked at GPS Investimentos, where she was responsible for defining and implementing a Middle Office department dedicated to Onboarding and Settlements for Ultra High Net Worth Individuals.

Marc Braendlin, Head of Latin American Markets at Lombard Odier, commented, “The addition of Rogerio and Juliana to our team underlines our commitment to the Brazilian market. It also reinforces the relevance of our value proposition in providing clients with a unique combination of Swiss Private Banking heritage and the services of an independent boutique private bank. We look forward to welcoming two outstanding professionals to serve our Brazilian clients.”

Stephen Kamp, Head of Southern Europe & Latin America for Private Clients stated: “We are pleased to welcome Rogerio and Juliana to Lombard Odier. We are confident that their extensive experience in business development and key client relationship expertise will build on Lombard Odier’s solid presence in Brazil, ensuring our continued growth in this important market.”

Rogerio and Juliana both take up their roles at Lombard Odier in January 2023.
