Toby Triebel, successful founder and CEO of fintech business models, will take over the Vontobel Client Unit Digital Investing management on October 5, 2020, and become a member of the Operating Committee. Vontobel aims to further expand its range of digital solutions for international investors.
The investment house Vontobel, which is one of the leading and most innovative Swiss providers of digital investment solutions for investors in Europe with its digital platforms such as "derinet" and "Volt," is strengthening its position with the financial market and fintech expert Toby Triebel. As of October 5, Triebel will take over the global client unit "Digital Investing" and become a member of the Operating Committee.
Through the Challenger Digital Investing unit, Vontobel makes its global investment and product experts available to broader client groups via primarily digital channels, either directly or through partnerships and ecosystems. This unit builds on the successful end-customer business with certificates and leveraged products and complements this with a broader investment perspective. The "Digital Investing" client unit, previously headed by Zeno Staub, was created at the beginning of the year as part of Vontobel's further development into a purely client-focused investment house.
Toby Triebel knows the investment world
Toby Triebel joins Vontobel from the international fintech company Wealthsimple, where he was CEO Europe and Head International for the past four years, responsible for the digital investment manager's launch and growth in Europe and the US. Before this, Triebel gained successful experience in developing new digital business models as co-founder and CEO of the Berlin-based FinTech company Spotcap. The investment world knows Triebel from the first ten years of his professional career. Among other things, he worked in the financing team at Goldman Sachs International in London.
After studying at the London School of Economics and Political Science, Triebel, who was born in Düsseldorf, completed a Master of Philosophy in Economics at the University of Cambridge and a Master of Business Research Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich.
"With Toby Triebel, we have gained an expert for Vontobel, who is familiar with both the international world of FinTech business models and our core task as an investment house. He has proven in the past that he can combine both worlds' opportunities for the benefit of clients. As a client-focused investment house that makes targeted use of modern technology to deliver customized, individualized client solutions, we intend to leverage his considerable expertise for future growth in our business with investors who operate via digital channels. With our successful platforms such as "derinet," through which private clients in our home market Switzerland, Europe, and Hong Kong can already choose from more than 200,000 solutions in the area of structured products, we have an excellent basis for future growth and new purely digital and hybrid client offerings". - Zeno Staub, CEO Vontobel.
