About
Joseph has joined as a Senior Partner of GSB Private, based in our Dubai office.
He has worked in several of the world’s leading financial centres serving Middle Eastern families, including London, Geneva, Dubai and Jersey. He joins us from Schroders Switzerland where, as well as serving wealthy families from the GCC, he led the Swiss bank’s coverage of Middle Eastern wealth managers and financial institutions.

These families rely on Joseph’s ability to combine his native knowledge of the region with his experience dealing with global UHNW families to give them the time and means to focus on what matters most to them: their families, their passions, and their legacy.
Quick Q&A
What is your favourite thing about working for GSB?
Definitely the people. There’s an entrepreneurial vibe here which is difficult to find in larger organisations.
When did you move to Dubai?
I moved in August 2024, but I also lived here between 2014 and 2018.
What is your favourite country you’ve visited?
Too difficult! But can say that I adore France, which has just so many things to offer. I love Italy (recently did a solo 3,000 km tour there on my motorcycle). And for a tropical getaway, it has to be Indonesia (Bali).
What was your first job?
Serving tea and coffee at a Delifrance cafe in Bahrain, aged 14.
What did you want to be when you were younger?
A doctor, then a lawyer, then a professional showjumper.
