Former UBS AG Group Chief Executive Marcel Rohner has joined Titanbay’s group board as a Non-Executive Director, the private-markets infrastructure fintech announced on Tuesday.
Rohner led UBS through the global financial crisis as Group CEO from 2007 to 2009. He has served on the board of Union Bancaire Privée since 2016 and has chaired the Swiss Bankers Association since 2021. He is due to hand over that role to Giorgio Pradelli in September 2026.
The appointment puts a senior Swiss banking figure inside a fintech that connects asset managers launching private-markets funds with wealth managers accessing them. Titanbay says it structures, launches, runs and trades private-markets funds on technology it built in-house.
“Private markets are becoming a core allocation for European wealth clients, but the industry’s infrastructure has not kept up,” Rohner said. “Titanbay has built technology and operations purpose-made for this asset class, used by serious wealth managers and serious asset managers.”
“Marcel is one of the most respected figures in European wealth management, and there are very few people in our industry whose judgement carries more weight,” said Michael Gruener, Co-CEO of Titanbay.
