Mirabaud has appointed three senior executives across its European and Swiss operations in 2025, reinforcing leadership capabilities in wealth management, governance, and investment strategy as the firm continues to compete for high-net-worth clients in key markets.
The appointments include Émilie Serrurier-Hoël as chief executive of Mirabaud & Cie (Europe) SA, based in Luxembourg, Carlo Thill as a new member of the European subsidiary’s board of directors, and Ricardo Castillo as head of investments for Mirabaud & Cie SA in Geneva.
New Leadership for the European Platform
Serrurier-Hoël assumed her role on 16 June, taking charge of Mirabaud’s Luxembourg-based entity that oversees 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 brings nearly twenty years 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, the strategy and regulatory affairs function, and process management teams. She holds a master’s degree in management from EM Lyon Business School.
Nicolas Mirabaud said her “leadership and recognised expertise would support the continued development of the European platform”. Serrurier-Hoël said she was pleased to join a family-owned institution with a long history, noting its entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to innovation.
Founded in 2014, Mirabaud & Cie (Europe) SA serves clients through local branches in Spain, France, and the United Kingdom, with Luxembourg as its booking centre.
Strengthening 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 sector, including senior executive and administrative roles at BGL BNP Paribas. His background includes corporate governance, risk oversight, and long-term strategic planning.
Nicolas Mirabaud welcomed the appointment, citing Thill’s deep knowledge of the Luxembourg market and extensive industry experience. Thill joins a board that includes Patrick Hauri, Sarah Khabirpour, and Julien Meylan.
Thill said he was honoured to join the board and looked forward to contributing to the Bank’s development while helping it meet evolving client expectations and market challenges.
Investment Leadership in Switzerland
Ricardo Castillo became head of investments for Mirabaud & Cie SA on 1 July. He oversees investment strategy, discretionary portfolio management, and advisory work for clients, supported by the Bank’s financial research unit led by Khaled Louhichi. He chairs the investment committee and reports to Camille Vial, CEO of Mirabaud & Cie SA and managing partner of Mirabaud SCA, the Group’s holding company..
Vial said Castillo’s expertise in international markets and discretionary management would strengthen the firm’s investment offering. Castillo said he was pleased to join the team and would work to develop customised asset management solutions based on the firm’s principles of independence, conviction, and active management.
His role is taking shape at a time when clients are seeking more sophisticated approaches to portfolio construction, particularly in response to market volatility and growing interest in sustainable and alternative assets.
Expanding Senior Capacity
The three appointments reflect Mirabaud’s continued effort to broaden leadership resources across its European and Swiss entities. The firm has recruited executives with extensive experience in established institutions while continuing to build on its long-standing internal expertise.
Mirabaud, founded in 1819, operates as a limited liability partnership. Its managing partners are Camille Vial, Nicolas Mirabaud, and Lionel Aeschlimann, who oversee the firm’s wealth management and asset management activities, 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, with activities spanning private wealth management, institutional 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 is intended to strengthen governance and support long-term growth across its global network.
