SG Kleinwort Hambros (CI) has a new CEO

Previously, he was deputy CEO of the Channel Islands – a role he has held since January 2018 – as part of a career spanning more than 16 years with Kleinwort Hambros’ parent group Societe Generale. He has held several senior positions within the group, starting his career in Paris before moving to Hong Kong and then Milan, where he was chief operating officer of Societe Generale’s Milan branch.

‘With his strong credentials and experience in the banking industry, we are extremely pleased that Christophe has taken up the key role of CEO for the Channel Islands,’ said John Maitland, chief executive officer of Kleinwort Hambros.

‘We are dedicated to this part of the business and have a clear strategy to further strengthen and enhance our local offering to clients.

‘Christophe’s track record of leading teams and growing business lines makes him the ideal person to drive the business forward and reinforces our commitment to the region.’

Mr Huchet will be responsible for developing the business strategy in the Channel Islands. He will provide banking, investment and wealth management solutions to domestic and international clients and financial intermediaries.

Based in Jersey, but covering all the Channel Islands, he is also a member of the executive committee of Kleinwort Hambros.
