Niall Buggy joins Sionic in London as Director
Global financial services consultancy Sionic has boosted its Wealth Management & Private Banking Practice with the arrival of Niall Buggy. His appointment coincides with the joining of a second Director, Anja de Troyer, in Sionic’s Geneva wing.
Gilly Green, Head of Sionic’s Wealth Management & Private Banking Practice commented, “Our business continues to expand rapidly, and it is the quality of our specialist team that distinguishes us. I am therefore delighted to welcome Anja and Niall to our Geneva and London teams respectively. Both bring extensive experience, and a fresh outlook that complements our existing team of specialists.”
The news comes as Sionic expands its offering to include a new suite of digital transformation services, enabling clients to digitise their propositions, internal processes, and client engagement. The services include benchmarking, strategy, building digital-first cultures, leveraging fintech partnerships and embedding major digital projects including client lifecycle management (CLM) and client relationship management (CRM) initiatives. This means the firm’s wealth management and private banking clients will benefit from specific wealth management focused advice and support across the full spectrum of digital transformation platforms and processes.
Supporting this growth, Niall Buggy brings 25 years of experience to the firm, having spent his career leading complex business transformations in wealth and asset management, hedge funds and private equity. Buggy specialises in operating model design and implementation, organisational change and offshoring, client journey and process optimisation, product launches, portfolio and risk management.
Arriving from Brooks Macdonald, Buggy also held senior leadership roles in programme, project and transformation management across a number of other firms. Buggy also spent time with SG Kleinwort Hambros, HSBC, Fidelity International, Willis Towers Watson and Coutts.
Elsewhere, Sionic has also launched a new Geneva base, reinforcing Sionic’s commitment to its Swiss clients. The office has also been boosted by a senior hire, with Anja de Troyer bringing two decades of experience to the firm – having worked consistently to manage large transformation and change programmes, business strategy and operating model reviews. She has held senior roles at Capco Switzerland, BNP Paribas Fortis and Securities Services, JP Morgan Chase Luxembourg, and Accenture Benelux.
Philip Biber, Sionic Partner and Head of Sionic Geneva, remarked, “I am so pleased to welcome Anja and Niall to the team and in particular to welcome Anja to Sionic here in Geneva. She is a consummate professional who will help Sionic’s Swiss practice deliver digital strategy and change management in Switzerland - and beyond!”
