Iñigo Urbano has relocated from Miami to Santander Private Banking International’s office in Dubai.
“After more than a decade with our team in Miami, we are delighted to welcome Iñigo Urbano Zumalacarregui to our new Branch in DIFC where he will join the team as Executive Advisor,” the firm announced Wednesday on LinkedIn.
The portfolio manager, who worked for 13 years in Santander’s discretionary management division in Miami (2011-2024), is moving to Dubai for the new office led by Masroor Batin.
Throughout his 20-year career, Urbano has worked at Credit Suisse (1999-2002), Fortis (BNP Paribas) between 2003 and 2009 as a senior portfolio manager. He later worked at Seguros RGA for two years before joining Santander, according to his LinkedIn profile.
In December 2023, Santander Private Banking announced, through an internal memorandum, the opening of an office in Dubai led by Masroor Batin, the former Head of Middle East and Africa at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, in line with its interest in expanding its business in the United Arab Emirates.
In this context, the entity continues to strengthen its Dubai team. Among those who joined before Urbano’s relocation are Jacques-Antoine Lecointre, Kamram Butt, Mustafa Asif Mahmood, and Fady E. Eid.
