“Stephen’s proven track record in growing a wealth management business organically will complement the acquisition strategy already underway in Kleinwort Benson. Stephen has an outstanding reputation amongst private investors and professional firms across the markets in which we operate, underlined by the fact that he has been on the CityWealth Leaders (Private Bankers and Investment Managers) Honours List for the last three years and winner of several other industry awards. He forms a formidable team which includes Jeremy Brown and Stephen Campbell, Managing Director Private Wealth Management and Executive Director respectively, who both joined Kleinwort Benson in August.”
Sally Tennant, Chief Executive Officer of Kleinwort Benson, said:
“Kleinwort Benson is gaining strong momentum on the back of a number of strategic acquisitions, including Close Offshore Group and Karrig Strategic Capital, and several recent senior appointments. As well as Mouhammed Choukeir, Marianne Kafena joined in November as Head of Strategic Wealth Planning, John Boyce joined the group as Chief Technology Officer and Danny Vogt assumed the role of Chief Operating Officer. Stephen’s appointment adds to the investment we have been making in high quality people across all areas of the business from investment management to client servicing and I am delighted to welcome him on board.”
