CEO Today Magazine - October 2022

THE CEO INTERVIEW www.ceotodaymagazine.com 42 Please tell us a bit about REYL. REYL is the only boutique private bank in Switzerland offering a complete range of services comparable to its largest peers while remaining committed to providing the highest level of service and dedicated personalised attention to each client. Our services have also evolved around a specific type of client: the entrepreneur. The very essence of the REYL Group is based above all on the provision of services to entrepreneurs as well as to their businesses and families. The Corporate Finance services we offer include mergers and acquisitions (M&A), financing advice, capital markets, restructurings and private equity. We make this wide range of services available to international groups active in a wide range of sectors from renewable energy, media and telecommunications, through to healthcare, real estate and hospitality. The Corporate Finance team provides valuation advice, identifies buyers, prepares marketing documents, manages public and private auction processes and leads negotiations until financial close. It also advises prospective buyers in identifying and contacting potential targets, coordinates financial and legal due diligence and secures acquisition financing. What’s the story of REYL? Founded by Dominique Reyl in 1973 and led by François Reyl since 2008, REYL Intesa Sanpaolo is a diversified and entrepreneurial banking organisation providing financial advisory services and investment solutions to private and institutional clients. The REYL Group serves a clientele of international entrepreneurs, family offices and institutional investors through five business lines: Wealth Management, Entrepreneur & Family Office Services, Corporate Finance, Asset Services and Asset Management, enabling efficient provision of solutions addressing the increasingly complex needs of its clients, without silos or artificial internal segmentation. REYL has undergone a major evolution over the past 18 months, culminating in the strategic partnership with Fideuram - Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking which has brought significant opportunities to further enhance our presence across Europe. While our clients have benefited from these recent developments, they have also been able to rely on us to provide consistently high-quality, valueadded services through the same 360° business model with which they are familiar and for which they choose to partner with us for their financial needs. What are REYL’s mission and vision? REYL Group’s values are rooted in four key terms: commitment, ingenuity, empathy and integrity; which are expanded on below: Commitment - We are fiercely committed to helping our clients achieve their set goals and realise their ambitions. This commitment leads us to work hard, dig down to the detail and always be well prepared, leaving nothing to chance. We coordinate and rely on solid, effective teamwork, putting trust in our people and giving credit where credit is due. At the end of the day, we only make promises that we are certain we can and will keep. Ingenuity - We differentiate ourselves by providing creative solutions to the most complex issues that each of our clients may face. This constant search for bold innovation is the hallmark of our added value. Our size, structure and financial solidity allow us to stay agile and highly responsive to our clients’ needs as well as to market developments. As the world of finance undergoes perpetual change, we know that complacency is a dead end. We push the boundaries, we move swiftly and rely on the smartest talents in the field to deliver the best solutions for our clients, in line with the times. Empathy - Our greatest satisfaction in our profession is derived from AN INTERVIEW WITH XAVIER LEDRU
