Head of marketing becomes product and services chief.
Coutts has announced that Ian Ewart is its new head of products and services.
Ewart was promoted following Byron Coombs’ retirement and adds his new responsibilities to his current marketing role.
His appointment, which is subject to regulatory approval, is part of a restructuring in the bank’s products and services division.
As part of this move, Gayle Schumacher has been named head of Coutts’ investment office.
Simon Ridgers and Mark Evans continue to manage Coutts’ Banking, Credit & Dealing and Coutts Institute divisions, respectively.
The bank's head of tax and wealth structuring will be announced in due course.
