GVAdvisors SA, an independent wealth management firm and multi-client family office based in Geneva, is pleased to announce that Ziad Aoun has joined the firm as Managing Director, strengthening its leadership team and marking an important step in the continued development of the firm.
Ziad joins GVAdvisors after more than 18 years at UBS in Geneva, where he advised ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth private clients across the Middle East and Europe.
Most recently, he served as Relationship Manager for the Saudi Arabian UHNW market. Prior to this, he held a number of investment and client advisory roles covering Saudi Arabia, Greece and Turkey.

As a Senior Relationship Manager, Ziad will contribute to the leadership and continued development of GVAdvisors, bringing nearly two decades of international private banking experience to the firm.
His appointment is closely aligned with GVAdvisors' model, which combines independence and open architecture with direct senior-level involvement in client relationships and investment decisions. The firm remains focused on disciplined investment management, prudent risk management and the preservation and growth of client wealth over the long term.
Henri Khayat, Co-Founder and CEO of GVAdvisors, says:

Our model is built around direct involvement from our team and close alignment with our clients. We therefore take a highly selective approach to building our team, ensuring that each individual shares our values and commitment to clients. Ziad's experience, values and approach to wealth management are strongly aligned with ours, and we are very pleased to welcome him to GVAdvisors.”
Ziad Aoun, Managing Director at GVAdvisors, adds:
“After more than 18 years at UBS, I am delighted to join GVAdvisors. The firm's independence, discipline, integrity and long-term approach to wealth management strongly resonate with the way I believe private clients should be advised.
I look forward to contributing to the next stage of GVAdvisors' development and to working alongside the team in serving private clients and families from Geneva.”
