“I moved to Zurich from London when I was employed as an investment banker, formally with HSBC and latterly with UBS. I was in my 40s and decided that I wanted a career and lifestyle change. My family and I wanted to stay in Zurich and the option of consultancy had appealed to me for some time. I more-or-less knew what I wanted to do, but did not quite know how to package it. I knew Appleton Greene from my banking days, so they were my first point of contact. They have helped my to create my consulting service portfolio professionally and in such a way that potential clients could understand my services and recognize value. They have also helped me to develop new business and I now have a substantial client base that includes both merchant and private banks, insurance companies, venture capital companies, wealth management firms and I am looking at branching out into other related industries. Appleton Greene have always dealt with me professionally and courteously and their global human resource base has grown substantially. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
