EXECUTIVE SEARCH
Executive Search
Barde & Payre conducts senior-level executive searches across Private Banking and Wealth Management, with a detailed understanding of the people, institutions, markets and relationships that shape the sector. Each mandate is tailored to the institution’s strategy, market coverage, franchise and growth priorities, rather than simply an existing job description.
Market Mapping
We map the relevant executive universe across private banks, wealth managers, booking centres and key hubs, beyond obvious names and active candidates. Mandates extend to direct competitors, adjacent platforms and emerging teams in the relevant geography.
Targeted Search
We approach senior Private Bankers, Market Heads and team leaders selectively, with a clear view of client franchise, market coverage and potential portability. The objective is a credible conversation with executives who may have no active reason to move.
Sector Intelligence
Our knowledge of private banks, independent wealth managers, family offices and senior team movements informs every mandate and market-entry decision. It helps clients strengthen franchises, replace key executives or build new teams.
Executive Fit
The match is between institution, mandate, market and executive: relationships, AuM and revenue profile where relevant, career trajectory and ambition. We consider the platform being joined and the business it is intended to build.
Search Execution
From brief and discreet approach through qualification, client introductions, negotiation and transition, we manage complex senior appointments with precision. This is particularly important where appointments or team moves are commercially sensitive. We remain closely involved on both sides through interviews, offer and appointment.
Our Search Process
A discreet, structured process designed to identify, engage and secure the right executive for each mandate.
