Across these roles he has overseen large international teams and supported organisations operating in highly regulated environments. His expertise spans financial strategy, liquidity and capital management, risk oversight, regulatory engagement, M&A integration and the modernisation of finance platforms.

Gerhard Lohmann has also contributed to social impact initiatives, including board roles in education and entrepreneurship programmes in East Africa.

“I am truly excited to be joining GAM at such a pivotal moment in its journey. As a Swiss-headquartered firm with a long tradition of investment excellence, GAM has a clear purpose, strong capabilities and a reinvigorated strategic direction that positions it exceptionally well for long-term success. I look forward to engaging with all stakeholders and working closely with Albert and the Group Management Board. Together, we will continue to strengthen GAM’s financial foundations and support the next phase of growth and performance.”

Richard McNamara, Outgoing Group CFO, said:

“It has been a privilege to serve as GAM’s CFO over the past 10 years. This is a great firm with exceptional people, and I am proud to have been part of it. What we have achieved together reflects the strength, resilience and quality that defines GAM at its best. GAM is now positioned for the next stage of its development, and I will watch GAM’s progress with enormous respect and pride.”
