Julius Baer Taps Former Standard Chartered Executive as New CFO

Burrill brings over three decades of financial expertise to the Zurich-based firm, having navigated markets across Germany, the UK, and the US. During his nine-year tenure at Standard Chartered, he served as group head of central finance and deputy CFO before briefly stepping into the interim group CFO position earlier this year. His background also includes significant experience at Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt, where he acted as group controller and co-head of group finance, following a two-decade career as an auditor at KPMG.

CEO Stefan Bollinger praised the appointment, citing Burrill’s deep familiarity with wealth management-focused institutions as a critical asset for the bank’s expansion plans. The transition marks the end of Kostakis’s tenure at Julius Baer; she announced her intention to step down in April and will assist with the leadership handover before departing the group.
