Editorial
Dear Reader
Maerki Baumann is one of the few remaining owner-managed private banks in Switzerland.
The Syz family, as the bank’s owners, has always stood for entrepreneurial thinking – guided by a clear, long-term perspective. This mindset characterises our entire corporate culture.
We know from our own experience what it means to take entrepreneurial decisions, especially when complex asset matters are involved. This is precisely why we established our “Entrepreneur Banking” department:
by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs.
In this issue, read how neurobiologist Roger M. Nitsch built up one of the most innovative biotech companies. Find out more about the wide-ranging entrepreneurial commitments
of our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Hans G. Syz-Witmer. And discover how we support entrepreneurs in a very concrete way.
I wish you an entertaining read. Best regards
Dr Stephan A. Zwahlen
Chief Executive Officer Maerki Baumann & Co. AG
