The publication, the editor, the method
Why Private Banking Life is published, how it is sourced, and the judgement behind every edition.
Private Banking Life is written and published by Steve Slater. Steve has spent twenty-five years in executive search, the last decade of it inside private banking and wealth management across Asia, the Middle East, Switzerland and the UK.
That is the vantage point this publication is written from: the person institutions call about the market’s most senior seats, writing about the market from public sources — with the practitioner’s judgement about what each move actually signals.
Private Banking Life is compiled entirely from public sources. Nothing learned through search work — from clients or candidates — ever appears in this publication. That rule, and the others like it, are published in full in our editorial standards.
What this publication is
A thrice-weekly read on senior movement in private banking: who moved, what it signals, and how it reads against the other markets we cover.
What it is not
Not a wire feed, not a rumour sheet, and not a channel for anything learned privately. Every fact is public, and every fact is traceable.
Who it is for
Senior private banking professionals across nine markets, reading in four minutes on a phone between meetings.
