Samira Sadik began her career in 1996 at the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In 2004, she joined Bank Syz, where she spent nearly a decade heading activities in French-speaking Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Belgium under the Oyster Funds umbrella. In 2017, Sadik moved to Lombard Odier Investment Managers, most recently serving as Head of Wholesale for Switzerland.
The appointment comes as LFDE steps up its push into the Swiss market, which the Paris-based asset manager considers a strategic pillar of its broader European expansion. The firm has been active in Switzerland since 2010 and opened a Geneva office in 2016. Sadik will report to Anne-Sophie Girault, Head of International Development, also based in Geneva.
