KBL European Private Bankers (KBL epb), a pan-European private banking group headquartered in Luxembourg, today announced the appointment of Colin Price as Group Chief Operating Officer (COO) and member of the Authorised Management Committee, subject to regulatory approval.
Colin Price, who has a 35-year track record of successfully advising leading companies worldwide on how to unlock their full potential, will oversee a wide range of support functions, including IT, Operations, HR, Marketing and Real Estate. He will also personally participate in the group’s long-term success through a significant co-investment.
A former Partner at PwC and McKinsey who set up his own boutique consultancy in 2014, Price earlier served as CEO of Heidrick Consulting, a division of Heidrick & Struggles. He has also served as a Visiting Professor at Imperial College London and an Associate Fellow at Saïd Oxford, the business school of Oxford University.

In his new role, Colin Price will work alongside Eric Mansuy, who assumed the Group COO role last autumn and has been named Group Chief Information Technology & Operations Officer, a role in which he will report to Price. Mansuy, who joined KBL epb in 2014 as Group Chief Information Officer (CIO), previously served as CIO of RBC Investor Services. A French national who studied at the University of Lorraine and IMD Business School, he earlier held a number of senior roles in the IT department at Banque Internationale à Luxembourg, rising to the position of Head of IT Services.
