Opel family office with new hires and rebranding

We created this article as part of our research process for our European single family office database. Here, we are reporting about recent changes at the Swiss family office of the Opel family.

GVO Advisory Management, the wealth management firm overseeing the fortune of the billionaire Opel family, recently made significant hires. Marina Nitsa Viergutz has joined as Managing Director for Investments, while Susanne Reinhard has taken the role of Group General Counsel. Both women were previously at Credit Suisse for many years. Viergutz served as Director for Alternative Investments. Later, she also held a partner role at New York-based family office Arieli Capital. Reinhard served as General Counsel and Head for Corporate Governance & Advisory. Their appointments follow the arrival of Lucia Waldner, the former head of internal research at the now-defunct Credit Suisse, who became GVO’s CEO earlier this year. Waldner has been the CEO of the – also Zug-based – family office CC Trust Group AG between 2021 and 2024. In another recent move, the family office also hired Alexander Köhler as Chief Financial Officer, previously in a similar role at the Swiss fund manager Mountain Partners.

Zug-based Opel family office rebrands

The Opel family office was established in 2007. Family member Georg von Opel still serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the family office. GVO, which stands for Growth Value Opportunities, has now been rebranded from GVO Asset Management AG to GVO Adivsory Management AG. The family office is active on financial markets, as well as on the real estate market.
