In a typical Swiss Finance Academy program, lectures are administered by a total of two to four faculty members who have held executive positions at bulge bracket investment banks, who are traders, who are faculty at top-tier graduate business schools or who have been successful entrepreneurs. Some of the faculty members may bring more than one type of experience to the classroom. For example, a faculty member may be a trader as well as an entrepreneur. Another may be a former investment banker who is now a hedge fund manager. All key faculty members have ten or more years of industry experience in investment banking, trading, hedge funds or entrepreneurship. Given our focus on applied skills and education we occasionally welcome qualified lecturers from top US and European MBA programs who possess the relevant industry experience.

For further information on the faculty members who are tentatively scheduled to lecture during the summer 2008 program, accepted students should log into the Accepted Student Portal.

Our faculty members have served in an executive capacity at many reputed firms such as Barclays Capital, Citigroup Global Markets, Credit Suisse, Desjardins, Ernst and Young, JP Morgan Chase, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, NB Financial, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Société Générale, Salomon Smith Barney, and SKG Capital.

Our faculty members are graduates of Ivy League and other top academic institutions such as Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, London Business School, Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton.
