Skybound Wealth appoints private wealth adviser

International wealth management group Skybound Wealth has appointed Alexandra Merz as a private wealth adviser in London, strengthening its support for clients with financial interests spanning the UK and US.

Alexandra brings more than 25 years’ experience across international banking and financial markets, including almost a decade advising private clients.

She joins from Vie International, where she advised expatriates and families on investments, retirement planning and wealth preservation between 2017 and August 2026.

Earlier in her career, Alexandra held managing director roles in energy markets at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan, following six years as a director at Deutsche Bank.

At Skybound, she will work across the group’s UK and US advisory businesses, focusing on expatriates and internationally connected families.

Her experience spans pension and investment planning, estate preservation, family protection and saving for children, alongside financial planning around changes in family circumstances.

Alexandra said: Alexandra Merz said: “My career has taken me from advising institutional clients in global markets to helping individuals and families plan for their futures. 

“That experience has shaped the way I think about risk, long-term decisions and the importance of understanding a client’s circumstances.

“I was drawn to Skybound by the opportunity to combine that experience with a wider international team. 

“When a client’s financial life spans countries, having the right people working together makes a real difference. 

“I am looking forward to being part of that.”

Skybound provides financial planning for clients whose lives, careers and assets span multiple jurisdictions.

Mike Coady, chief executive of Skybound Wealth Management Group, added:“Alexandra’s banking background will understandably attract attention. 

“What matters to me is the combination of that financial markets experience and the years she has spent helping private clients make decisions about their retirement, investments and family’s future.

“We are building a business where experienced advisers have the support and international reach to do their best work for clients. 

“Alexandra strengthens our London team, and her decision to join us says something about the business we are building.”
