Vontobel Liechtenstein presents new management structure

On 1 April 2016, Urban Laupper will take over as Chairman of the Executive Board of Bank Vontobel (Liechtenstein) AG in Vaduz.

 

Urban Laupper will take over management of Vontobel Liechtenstein from Ruth Egeter-Woerz, who has successfully built up and managed the location for Private Banking since 2000. Ruth Egeter-Woerz, who will continue to be part of management, has decided to gradually pass on the baton as she nears retirement. In addition to Urban Laupper and Ruth Egeter-Woerz, Franz Schädler will continue to serve on the Executive Board of Vontobel Liechtenstein. Bank Vontobel (Liechtenstein) AG has a full banking licence and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vontobel Holding AG, Zurich.

 

Urban Laupper, a citizen of Liechtenstein, has over 16 years of professional experience, which he gained at Bank Vontobel AG in Zurich and at the ABB Group in Zurich. As a long-standing financial advisor, he has in-depth knowledge of the business with institutional and private clients, an area he has worked in since 2009. He completed his degree in business administration in 1999 and obtained a doctorate (Dr. oec. HSG) in 2004, both from the University of St. Gallen.

 

"With Urban Laupper, management will remain in the hands of Liechtenstein, those who know the market, the business and Vontobel from many years of experience in these areas. This in-house succession arrangement underscores the great potential we have within the company. Our aim with Urban Laupper at the helm is to further expand our business in Liechtenstein. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ruth Egeter-Woerz. With her tireless efforts and expertise, she has played a decisive role in establishing Vontobel Liechtenstein in our key focus market of Liechtenstein. We are pleased that she has applied her experience and knowledge to ensure continuity in the transition," said Jean-Pierre Stillhart, Head of Vontobel Private Banking Switzerland and Liechtenstein in Zurich.
