Their appointments are part of the strategic growth plans of Scorpio Partnership which includes the recent rebranding of the firm to “What Wealth Needs Next” and the development of a business presence in Switzerland in 2010 and an aim to also expand in Asia in 2011.
“To support our exciting project ideas in wealth we are taking Scorpio Partnership to the next level,” said Sebastian Dovey, Managing Partner, adding that the rebranding has helped to spotlight the successful business processes Scorpio Partnership undertakes on assignments. “We have typically pushed our clients and the projects we have done for them into the limelight but now for the next stage of our plans we shall be on the front foot much more,” Dovey said.
Caroline Burkart, formerly a holder of senior positions at Credit Suisse Private Banking including the head of the Middle East market team in London over a ten year period, has worked with Scorpio Partnership since 2006 and has now been promoted to Executive Director – a new role.

“Scorpio Partnership is now a globally recognised strategist and business advisor and this expertise will boost our implementation skills,” commented Catherine Tillotson, a Founding Partner of the firm. Tillotson noted that the rebranding work, conducted by partner firm Goosebumps, has already been having a market impact. “The new identity has just clicked with our institutional clients. They now recognise we are committed to taking them even further into acquiring new clients. In effect, we can go from insight all the way through to new client business.”
Scorpio Partnership’s full complement now numbers 15 professionals focused on wealth management assignments across the globe. More than 50% of the firm’s business is regularly in Switzerland and Asia, which is backing the interest in regional expansion.
“For a very long time we have had at least 20% of our work in Asia and often as much as 50% of our work is in emerging markets in general including client and market insight projects. We believe there is great scope to now bring our solutions to even more clients in these regions,” said Dovey adding that the business is exploring options to establish a committed presence in Singapore within 18 months.
