Lola Myshketa - SVP, Head of Private Banking
Ms. Myshketa joins Clarien Bank as SVP, Head of Private Banking, where she will lead the strategic expansion of the Private Banking business. Collaborating closely with the executive team, she will drive business development initiatives within the Wealth Management division and elevate Clarien’s brand.
She brings to the team 25 years of successful international experience in Private Banking, Asset Management, Alternative Investments, Reinsurance, and Consultancy.
Her banking journey commenced in 1997 in Albania, where she joined the nation’s first private bank. Moving to Canada in 2000, she spent eight years at CIBC, managing the financial portfolios of High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI). Rising to senior roles in Canada’s private financial sector in 2008, she specialized in alternative investments, strategically maximizing risk-adjusted returns for her esteemed clientele. In 2011, she embarked on a new chapter in Bermuda, spearheading the inception and growth of the Asset Management business at Bermuda Commercial Bank.
Driven by a relentless pursuit of knowledge and professional growth, she transitioned to the Reinsurance sector from 2015 to 2021, specializing in Insurance-Linked-Securities (ILS) and holding key executive positions, including Chief Business Development Officer for Horseshoe, now Artex Capital Solutions—the leading ILS service provider.
After a successful consultancy period in Dubai, Ms. Myshketa returns to Bermuda armed with extensive international experience and a unique blend of versatile skills, perfectly positioned to drive transformative results and contribute to Clarien’s Wealth Management success.
Ms. Myshketa is renowned for her client-centric approach, dedicated to transforming the client experience. She champions the pivotal role of technology in driving agility and progress. Yet, she firmly believes that the discerning needs of family offices, HNW individuals, and institutional clients can only be met through bespoke, personalized services rooted in profound relationships and understanding of their distinct circumstances—a reputation she has earned through her career.
Her academic credentials include a Master’s Degree in Banking and Finance from Bocconi University, Milan, where she graduated as valedictorian, and a Financial Management Advisor (FMA) designation from the Canadian Securities Institute.
Ms. Myshketa is deeply passionate about empowering and developing young people. She currently mentors recent graduates, guiding them to navigate the complexities of the job market with confidence. This initiative holds profound meaning for her, and she is dedicated to expanding the program across Bermuda to help young people on the island embark on their futures with resilience and purpose.
She leads with empathy and stands firmly by her motto: “Caring for people, building communities, and not settling for mediocrity; success follows naturally.”
