People: Diego Wauters, CEO, Coriolis Capital

Diego Wauters, chairman and CEO of Coriolis Capital, was in hospital having a foot operation that was going to leave him wheelchair bound for three months when the company began setting up in its new offices.

This sounds serious when you are in the crucial stages of floating an independent business that you had been mulling over for years but Wauters is unfazed. “It was good that I was in hospital when we were moving. Margaret [the office manager] didn’t want the boss around being a nuisance.”

The six-strong team at Coriolis Capital, a fund management company dedicated to catastrophe bonds and weather derivatives, moved from SG, where it was a hedge fund management team within the bank dedicated to the same areas.
