Terry Gyorffy joins as deputy head of relationship management having been a team manager in the London international private banking division of Barclays. He was earlier sales director of Barclays international private bank and head of its charities team.

Paul McCafferty, Julia Cole-Turner and Rebecca Frowde join as heads of supervision, supporting each of the three main teams in London and Dublin.  

McCafferty also joins from Barclays, where he was latterly the offshore business manager responsible for Barclays’ offshore corporate, intermediaries, family office and local retail business. 

Cole-Turner joins from Coutts, where she was a business partner overseeing its UK business. She was previously an area manager for RBS and also team leader overseeing private bankers based in Jersey. 

Frowde also joins from Coutts, where she was the business partner overseeing first-line activities within their international client group, primarily focused on the US and Western Europe. Prior to this she was in the management team at Lloyds. 

The fifth hire is Gileyd Romeo Eliav-Cruz who joins as business assurance specialist from UBS, where he was the risk manager responsible for the UK’s high net worth business. His earlier experience includes a spell at the Prudential Regulation Authority.

The new managers will focus on the development of Julius Baer’s business in the UK and Ireland and their recruitment follows a number of relationship manager hires in 2015.

“I am delighted to welcome such a strong team at this exciting time, as we build out Julius Baer’s business in the UK and Ireland,” said David Durlacher, head of relationship management. They bring with them deep experience in front office leadership and position us well for our long-term growth in London and Dublin.”
