About ZEDRA

ZEDRA is an independent global specialist in Trust, Corporate and Fund services.

Our vision is shaped by the past, present and future: a legacy of solid foundations, local knowledge and expertise; the boldness to take on today's global challenges in an ever-evolving regulatory environment; and the fresh ambition to Do More. Achieve More.

Since our origination, the HR team has been working closely with the Executive Board to cultivate a work environment that attracts and retains the best talent in the industry. We are proud of our diverse employee make-up, with a wide range of nationalities represented across the firm.

“At ZEDRA we embrace an entrepreneurial spirit where employees are encouraged to see beyond their determined role and participate in a wide range of opportunities,” says Astrud Lotz, Head of Human Resources. “We focus on providing a wide range of technical and practical support to all employees at every level”.

ZEDRA recognises the need to develop and expand an employee’s skill-set and encourages career growth, as well as supports a social culture too, with a local social event programme across each office that celebrates the companies’ inclusive culture.

Astrud continues: “We firmly believe that people are our greatest asset, and that a happy and content workforce produces the best quality work and ideas which ultimately benefit our clients”.
