Edmond de Rothschild Israel appoints Nir Yeshaya as CEO
“I believe that Nir will succeed in the challenges to come and lead the group to new heights,” said outgoing CEO Doron Cohen.
The Edmond de Rothschild Israel Group has announced that it has appointed Nir Yeshaya as CEO of the group. In his role, Yeshaya will help expand private banking activities and manage investment portfolios, as well as strengthen the Edmond de Rothschild brand.
Yeshaya has more than 15 years of experience in private banking and wealth management. Before joining Edmond de Rothschild Israel, he served as the director of the Israeli representative office of the Swiss bank Lombard Odier. Before that, he held a series of senior positions in leading financial institutions in Geneva, Switzerland, including Lombard Odier, Credit Suisse, and Bank Credit Agricole.
In the role, Yeshaya will work to deepen ties with the bank's high-net-worth customer sector and expand activity to new customer groups with an emphasis on the technology sector. He will also assist in expanding services currently offered to Israeli customers who wish to open bank accounts in Switzerland and Luxembourg.
Outgoing CEO Doron Cohen said: "After about two decades of intensive work in the Rothschild Group and three decades of a fascinating journey in capital markets, I found the current timing to be ideal for a change of scenery. Nir has an impressive and comprehensive background in the field of private banking; I believe that he will succeed in the challenges to come and lead the group to new heights. I wish him the best of luck."
Yeshaya’s appointment comes alongside additional new recruits, including Matan Ben Baruch, who served as a senior client relationship manager at Credit Suisse Israel, and Amit Geller, who served as a client relationship manager at UBS Israel.
The Rothschild Group is an independent Swiss financial institution that operates from the bank's headquarters in Geneva. It manages assets totaling approximately $200 billion across its 33 branches located in roughly 16 countries worldwide.
