AP Executive Opens an Office in Zurich

AP Executive, the senior-level division of AP Group, has opened an office in Zurich. Already well established in Geneva, as well as London, Cyprus, Jersey and Guernsey, AP Executive's Zurich branch is centrally located in Bahnhofstrasse, in the heart of the city.

Chief executive Gina Le Prevost is enthusiastic about the new venture. 'Switzerland has a unique reputation in the global financial services market,' she said. 'The Zurich office will enable us to enhance our service to clients and candidates in that part of the country, complementing our already successful Geneva team servicing Suisse-Romande.'

The Zurich office will, like its Geneva counterpart, service the mid to senior end of the trust, family office and private banking sectors. The hitherto Geneva-based consultant Emmanuel Auperin has turned his attention to Zurich to assist in establishing the new office. Born in France, Emmanuel graduated in working psychology and human resources management before specialising in HR and recruitment in Paris for several years. Emmanuel focuses on the placement of private banking relationship managers in Switzerland.

AP Executive managing director added: 'AP Executive works in a relationship-critical market, and although we expect a challenging year ahead, our team has some enviable relationships with key players in the Zurich market. We are looking forward to exceeding our clients' expectations in 2009 and beyond.'
