Zanini has been with Bellevue since September 2024. Until now, she was responsible for servicing intermediaries such as banks and asset managers in German-speaking Switzerland. In her new role, she succeeds Sandro Tiziani, who moved to Fermat Capital Management at the beginning of the year.

Prior to joining Bellevue, Zanini worked at BlackRock as a Senior Sales covering wholesale clients. She brings experience in the distribution of active and indexed investment funds, hedge funds, as well as private market strategies. Earlier in her career, she held various positions at Julius Baer and UBP/Coutts & Co. She holds a Master’s degree in Banking & Finance and is a CFA Charterholder.

Expansion of sales activities

Bellevue has had a new Head of Distribution since the beginning of the year. Florin Boetschi, who had built up Bellevue’s Asia business in Singapore since 2021, assumed his new role as Global Head of Distribution at the start of 2026.
Bellevue has announced plans to expand its distribution organisation and intends to further strengthen the team in July 2026. «In my new role, the focus is on driving our global distribution activities with additional momentum. A key factor is the development of our activities in the individual core markets,» Boetschi commented. «Since joining Bellevue, Livia Zanini has quickly established herself as an important pillar of our sales team. In her new role, she will play a central part in expanding our position in the Swiss market.»
