Mirabaud Group Strengthens European and Swiss Leadership with Three Senior Appointments

Mirabaud has expanded its senior leadership across Europe and Switzerland with three key appointments in the first half of 2025, reinforcing its capabilities in wealth management, governance, and investment strategy as demand for high-quality private banking services continues to grow.

The appointments include Émilie Serrurier-Hoël as chief executive of Mirabaud & Cie (Europe) SA in Luxembourg, Carlo Thill as a new member of its European board of directors, and Ricardo Castillo as head of investments for Mirabaud & Cie SA in Geneva.

Leadership Across Europe 

Serrurier-Hoël began her tenure on 16 June as chief executive of Mirabaud & Cie (Europe) SA, the Luxembourg-based entity that coordinates the Group’s European wealth management activities. She reports to Nicolas Mirabaud, chairman of the board of Mirabaud & Cie (Europe) SA and managing partner of Mirabaud SCA, the Group’s holding company.

She joins the firm with nearly two decades of experience in Luxembourg’s financial sector. At Banque Internationale à Luxembourg, she served on the executive committee and previously led the wealth management division, corporate strategy and regulatory affairs, and process management teams. She holds a master’s degree in management from EM Lyon Business School.

Nicolas Mirabaud welcomed her appointment, citing her leadership as a strategic asset for the continued development of the European platform and for client service across the region.

Mirabaud & Cie (Europe) SA, founded in 2014, operates with Luxembourg as its single booking centre and supports clients through branches in Spain, France, and the United Kingdom.

Serrurier-Hoël said she was pleased to join a family-owned organisation with a long history, noting its entrepreneurial culture and focus on innovation.

Reinforcing Governance 

In March, Mirabaud appointed Carlo Thill to the board of Mirabaud & Cie (Europe) SA. Thill has more than forty years of experience in Luxembourg’s banking industry and has held senior management and administrative roles at institutions including BGL BNP Paribas. His background covers strategic oversight, risk management, and financial planning.

Nicolas Mirabaud said Thill’s experience and knowledge of the Luxembourg market would support Mirabaud’s ambitions for its European platform.

Thill joins a board that includes Patrick Hauri, Sarah Khabirpour, and Julien Meylan, with Nicolas Mirabaud serving as chairman. He said he was honoured by the appointment and committed to contributing to the Bank’s development while helping it meet the evolving expectations of clients and the broader financial sector.

Expanding Investment Leadership 

In Geneva, Mirabaud appointed Ricardo Castillo as head of investments for Mirabaud & Cie SA, effective 1 July. Castillo oversees investment strategy, discretionary portfolio management, and advisory activities. He chairs the investment committee and works closely with the financial research unit led by Khaled Louhichi. He reports directly to Camille Vial, CEO of Mirabaud & Cie SA and managing partner of Mirabaud SCA, the Group’s holding company.

Vial said Castillo’s experience in international markets and discretionary management would enhance the firm’s investment capabilities. Castillo said he was pleased to join Mirabaud and would focus on developing customised asset management solutions that reflect the firm’s principles of independence, conviction, and active management.

His appointment comes amid rising demand for personalised investment approaches and increased client interest in sustainable and alternative assets.

Deepening Management Capacity 

Together, the appointments illustrate Mirabaud’s focus on adding experienced leadership across European and Swiss operations. The firm continues to balance long-standing internal expertise with external perspectives drawn from established financial institutions.

Mirabaud operates as a limited liability partnership, a structure adopted in 2014 that combines shared ownership with direct leadership oversight. The managing partners are Camille Vial, Nicolas Mirabaud, and Lionel Aeschlimann, supported by equity partners who hold both managerial and investment responsibilities.

The firm maintains an international presence across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, providing services in wealth management, asset management, and fund distribution.

The impact of the new appointments will become clearer over the next 12 to 18 months as strategic initiatives progress. For Mirabaud, expanding leadership depth reflects a long-term approach to governance and positions the Bank for continued growth in an increasingly competitive wealth management market.
