UBS Group AG is relocating Christl Novakovic, head of wealth management for EMEA, to the Middle East later this summer.
Niels Zilkens, current Middle East head, will move to Doha as part of the leadership reshuffle.
The bank will split its EMEA wealth business into five coverage sectors from June 1 to boost Middle East growth.
UBS cites the Middle East as central to growth plans amid recent loss of senior wealth bankers and talent competition.
