Were you born in the Basel area?
Yes.
From a banking family?
Not at all.
How did you get into banking?
When I was 16, I had the choice of continuing school or to go and work in a small bank. I decided to do the latter. There’s a scheme in Switzerland of apprenticeships which at the time lasted three years. You had an employer and then, in parallel, you attended school part time.
