Mazzurana reports to Thomas Erdmann, Global Head of Asset Management Sales & Relationship Management.

Asset managers, including those active in private markets, are increasingly turning to us to scale their distribution globally through the wealth channel. Based in Zurich, Cristina brings valuable external perspective and a proven track record in strategic business development, strengthening our geographical presence — both in Zurich and across the broader asset management industry.»
