Walter has spent over thirty-five years inside the moments that define a family's future: the handovers, the disputes, the decisions no structure can make for you. He founded Magnolia because he believed this kind of work deserved a firm built around it. English, German, French.

Ivano is the reason the firm runs as it should. Over twenty-five years building the foundations that allow everyone else to focus. It is the kind of work that only becomes visible when it is absent. The families may never meet him. They benefit from him every day. Full member of STEP and GCO. French, English, Italian.

Mario combines legal precision with a rare ability to simplify complexity. Families come to him for structures, but often remember him for the conversations that made those structures possible. Spanish, English, German, French, Portuguese.

Céline trained in the world's most demanding deal rooms (Clifford Chance, Paris, London, New York) before choosing to apply that rigour somewhere the stakes are personal rather than commercial. Over fifteen years on, she brings the same precision to private client work and to philanthropy, two fields where getting it right matters in ways that go beyond the transaction. She is the person you want reading the document no one else has read carefully enough. French, English.

Silvia has built long term and trusting relationships with a particular focus on Latin American and Brazilian families as well as with her professional partners through something remarkably simple: she does what she says she will do, every time. That consistency, sustained over years, is what trust actually looks like. MBA, Business School of Lausanne. French, Italian, English, Portuguese.

Over fifteen years in the trust industry has given Pilar one clear conviction: the families who feel truly looked after are the ones whose adviser was paying attention between the meetings, not just during them. Full member of STEP. Spanish, English, French.

Over twenty years working with international families has taught Marie-José that the structures matter far less than the relationships they're built on. She has seen enough to know the difference, and to know which one lasts. French, English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese.

Marie's path, from private aviation to trust administration, gave her something most CVs don't show: an instinct for what discretion actually looks like in practice, not just in principle. Joined Magnolia in 2020. French, English.

Sonja moved from bank back-office to a Geneva family office before joining Magnolia in 2023. She arrived knowing how to listen before she spoke, which, in this work, is most of the job. Federal Commercial Degree. Spanish, French, English, Italian.

Angelica has been at Magnolia since October 2019. She was there at the beginning, and helped build the office from the ground up alongside Walter. What started as four walls on the Quai des Bergues is now a place people genuinely enjoy coming to work. Before Geneva, she spent several years in Australia as a Communications and Sales Manager in real estate, then over ten years at Vistra Geneva in a range of senior roles, including Executive Assistant to one of its founders. What she built at Magnolia is the kind of environment that makes everything else possible. Swiss Federal Commercial Diploma. English, French.

Christophe built his financial career across Paris, London and Geneva before finding that the work he most wanted to do was the work that mattered most to individual families. He brings that choice, and everything it took to make it, to Magnolia every day. Associate Chartered Management Accountant. French, English.

Over twenty years across Geneva fiduciaries gave Laurent a technical depth in trust and foundation accounting that takes decades to build. Families rarely see it directly. They feel it in every set of accounts that is exactly right. Joined Magnolia in 2022. French.

Over two decades in family offices taught Remi that trust is never assumed: it is built over time. Taking the time to listen, appreciate each client's perspective, understand what matters to them, and earn their confidence through reliability and genuine care: that has always been the work that counts. BA in Management, Webster University Geneva. English, French, basic Spanish.

Over ten years at Vistra Geneva (as Receptionist, then Office Manager) gave Julie an instinct for what a well-run office needs before anyone has to ask. She joined Magnolia in April 2026 because she wanted to bring that experience somewhere the work is personal, not just operational. French, English.
