The former CEO of Julius Baer gets a regional advisory board role as EFG makes changes to management in Asia.

Boris Collardi is back, or at least appears to be. As part of EFG’s new regional appointments announced during its annual news presentation Wednesday, he is to become chair of the Asia Pacific advisory board, succeeding Amy Yip.

He is not a stranger to the region, having worked two stints in Singapore with Credit Suisse before joining Julius Baer in 2006, where he eventually became CEO. According to EFG, Collardi, currently a member of the board of directors, will drive strategic development for what the bank calls a «key region».

Yip will remain on the APAC advisory board and EFG International's board of directors as a member.
