Iqbal Khan

Spear’s Review

Swiss private banker Iqbal Khan was appointed co-head of UBS’ global wealth management division alongside veteran Tom Naratil in late 2019. He was then appointed president of Europe, Middle East and Africa in February 2021. UBS is the world’s largest wealth management firm with $2.3 trillion in assets under management.

Khan joined UBS from rival Credit Suisse, where he was CEO of international wealth management from 2015 to 2019 and CFO of private banking and wealth management from 2013 to 2015. He departed the role after a much-publicised row with his former chief executive, Tidjane Thiam, who also left the business.
