Light Frame, a Lausanne-based provider of wealth management core systems, has appointed Philipp Rickenbacher to its Advisory Board.
Rickenbacher was CEO of Julius Baer Group and Bank Julius Baer from 2019 to 2024, leading the institution through a period of significant transformation and external disruption.
Since joining Julius Baer in 2004, he held various positions across Structured Products, Global Advisory Solutions, and Intermediaries & Custody.
He began his career at McKinsey & Company in Zurich and London.
He holds a Master’s degree in Biotechnology from ETH Zurich and has completed programmes at Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Programme and Singularity University.
He is currently Chairman of the Zug-based venture capital firm CVVC and serves on several boards and advisory bodies in finance and technology.
“Technology is increasingly shaping the way private banks create and deliver value for their clients. A modern core is at the heart of this, as part of a long-term transformation strategy for established players, and as a critical stepping-stone for neobanks,”
said Schuyler Weiss, Co-Founder and Chief Executive of Light Frame.
“Philipp has been on the front lines of that shift. His counsel will help us deliver even greater impact for banks ready to lead.”
Commenting on his appointment, Rickenbacher said:
“I’m excited to join Light Frame’s Advisory Board. I am impressed by how the team combines business knowledge with modern technology. They are set to help financial institutions move towards modern infrastructure, and I am glad to afford them my support as they scale the company.”
Light Frame provides an event-driven core system for wealth management, combining investment operations and portfolio management with a cloud-native, API-first architecture designed to integrate with existing ecosystems.
The platform aims to reduce operating costs, support change, and enable real-time, compliant client service.
