After various trading activities in the stock exchange department of the Bankverein and a part-time visit to the Basel University of Applied Sciences, he set up the sales department for derivative products. In 1992, he moved to what was then Ciba-Geigy, where he was responsible for the company's equity investments and the pension fund.
