As country head, Kurzo will be responsible for growing the firm’s Switzerland fund business, and strengthening client relationships.
He will also assess business opportunities in the Middle East and Africa for the funds business of JP Morgan Asset Management.
Kurzo will relocate back to Zurich and was most recently based in New York as the firm’s global head of strategy and business transformation. He has been with JP Morgan since 2012 and was prior to that at McKinsey and Company in Zurich.
“I am really looking forward to returning to Switzerland and to work with some of the world’s most sophisticated clients and investors, as well as to joining our Swiss-based team to further build on our already strong momentum,” he said.
