35 years in Swiss finance. 4 months a year living and working on the ground in China. I am the bilateral bridge - connecting Swiss boardrooms with China's financial sector decision-makers.
Every engagement is built on real relationships and firsthand knowledge - not research reports or secondhand intelligence.
Your audience gets China insights that no research report can deliver - from someone who has been in the room.
I speak on the Switzerland-China financial corridor, the geopolitics of money, fintech, and what Western leaders need to understand about China right now. Available in English, German, and French.
An honest, outside-in perspective on your China strategy from someone who lives the bilateral reality - not the headlines.
One-on-one or small group sessions for board members, C-suite executives, and investment committees. Format: 2-4 hours, in-person or online. Available on a session basis or as ongoing advisory.
A realistic, actionable Switzerland-China strategy - built on actual relationships, not theory.
Whether you are a Swiss institution exploring China, or a Chinese organization seeking European access, I help you navigate the corridor with clarity and genuine bilateral perspective. Available project-based or as an ongoing retainer.
Direct connections to the right decision-makers on both sides - without cold outreach or wasted meetings.
My network spans Swiss private banking, Chinese financial institutions, and the next generation of Asian entrepreneurs. I make introductions that take years to build on your own - because I have already built them.
For 35 years I have worked at the intersection of Swiss banking and the world's most dynamic markets - from the trading floors of Credit Suisse and Yamaichi Securities to the boardrooms of Brazilian financial groups, and now the corridors of Chinese universities and financial institutions.
Today, I spend four months of every year living and working on the ground in China - teaching the next generation of Asian entrepreneurs at Zhejiang University's International Business School, building relationships with senior Chinese financial leaders, and watching China's financial system evolve in real time.
I bring that bilateral, on-the-ground perspective back to Switzerland - to conference stages, financial boardrooms, and strategic advisory mandates. What I offer is not analysis of China. It is direct access to both worlds, and the experience to know what to do with that access.
Regular insights on China's financial landscape, the Switzerland-China corridor, and what global leaders need to know - published in Swiss financial media, on my blog, and on YouTube.
Weekly analysis of Chinese financial news - read from the Chinese press and explained for Western financial leaders. Shorts, in-depth videos, and interviews.
Watch on YouTubeLong-form analysis connecting Switzerland, China, and Brazil - the financial, geopolitical, and cultural dots that most commentators miss.
