Grant Thornton Switzerland/Liechtenstein strengthens Consulting and Financial Services leadership with two key appointments. Two new partners are joining the firm: Richard Bradley joins as Head of Consulting; Damien Repond appointed Head of Audit Financial Services in Geneva.
Grant Thornton Switzerland/Liechtenstein is strengthening two strategically important business areas that support the firm's growth strategy. Richard Bradley will join the firm as a Partner on 1 November 2026 and will build and lead the Consulting practice from Zurich. On the same date, Damien Repond will take over as Partner and Head of Audit Financial Services in Geneva, supporting the firm's strategic ambition to further expand its presence in the financial services sector.
Richard Bradley brings around 20 years of management consulting experience and has a strong network across Switzerland and other European countries. Throughout his career, he has led large-scale digital transformation programmes across a range of industries and has extensive experience in building consulting capabilities in Switzerland and Austria.
In his new role, Richard Bradley will be responsible for building and developing Grant Thornton's Consulting practice in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The practice combines close local client relationships and experienced leadership with the capabilities of the Grant Thornton Advisors platform and the wider Grant Thornton International network. This provides clients with direct access to international specialists while benefiting from strong local leadership and trusted client relationships.
The appointment of Damien Repond as Head of Audit Financial Services in Geneva represents a further step in Grant Thornton's growth strategy within the financial services sector. Damien Repond has many years of experience in banking as well as in audit and advisory firms. From 1 November 2026, he will lead the existing Audit Financial Services team in Geneva and will play a key role in further expanding Grant Thornton's financial services capabilities in Western Switzerland.
CEO Egon Hutter commented:
“These appointments strengthen two areas that are central to our growth ambitions. Richard's transformation experience, his extensive network and his track record of building consulting practices make him the ideal person to establish and grow our Consulting offering. Damien's leadership of our Audit Financial Services practice in Geneva will provide important additional momentum as we continue to expand our presence in the financial services market. Thanks to his extensive experience, he has an outstanding understanding of the market and its requirements.”
