Our Approach

Reich Partners was founded on a straightforward premise: that senior appointments in financial services are better served by one experienced, accountable person who knows the market deeply than by a large firm running parallel processes with divided attention.

That premise shapes everything about how the firm operates — and it starts with who is doing the work.

Silvan Reich

Managing Partner

Silvan Reich has spent more than 20 years in financial services, working first as a practitioner in trading and private banking, then as a search professional across both independent executive search and senior internal recruiting roles within major financial institutions.

That career path — from banking to executive search advisory — shapes the way every mandate at Reich Partners is approached. Candidates are assessed not just against a job description but against the realities of the role and the organisation. Clients are advised not just on who is available but on what is likely to work.

Over nine years in executive and professional search, Silvan has led mandates across wealth management, private banking, and the broader financial services market — working with firms ranging from established private banks to emerging players in WealthTech and digital assets. His approach is direct, discreet, and grounded in a genuine understanding of the market on both sides of the hiring decision.
