Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank has appointed Kevin Bardon and David O’Neill as CEO and chief operations officer, respectively, to its Irish subsidiary Crossroads Capital Management (CCM).
The private bank specialises in private and corporate banking, asset management, asset servicing and investment banking, while CMM is an alternative investment fund manager for investment managers and fund promoters.
Effective 1 April, Bardon joins the company having previously held senior positions at Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, State Street Alternative Investment Solutions and Deutsche Capital Management.
From 15 May, O’Neill will be responsible for leading CCM’s operational development in Ireland. He previously served as head of investment and fund services at The Asset Management Exchange.
Following CCM’s full integration into the Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Group, the bank will increase the shareholding stake to 100 per cent in an effort to expand its fund services offering beyond the German-speaking region and into an international context.
Commenting on the appointments, Holger Sepp, Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank management board member, says: “Kevin and David are experienced experts with whom we will promote the further development of CCM. Both colleagues have many years of market and management experience and are excellently connected within the Irish fund world.
“They are therefore ideally prepared to further enhance the growth of our Irish fund business and thus our location. Ireland is the second largest European fund hub after Luxembourg, and our Irish company is therefore a very important strategic element with regard to the international growth strategy of the Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Group.”
