Lazard has appointed Marco Superina as head of its Swiss operations, with responsibility for the entire DACH region, the investment bank announced on Wednesday.
Superina, a veteran of Credit Suisse, will be based in Zurich and report directly to Lazard’s European leadership. His appointment underscores the firm’s commitment to expanding its presence in Switzerland, a key financial hub for private banking and asset management.
The move comes as Lazard continues to strengthen its European footprint amid heightened competition in wealth management and advisory services. Superina’s deep ties to the Swiss financial sector and his extensive experience in the industry are expected to support the firm’s growth strategy in the region.
Lazard’s decision to appoint a local executive reflects broader trends in the Swiss banking sector, where institutions increasingly prioritize leadership with in-depth market knowledge. Superina’s prior role at Credit Suisse was not disclosed in the announcement.
The investment bank did not provide additional details on Superina’s responsibilities or immediate priorities, but industry observers anticipate a focus on client acquisition and advisory mandates in the DACH region.
