Interview with Alexander Brunner in the recent Swissquote Magazin
“When I was a student, everyone wanted to work in finance. That’s no longer the case today. Young people want to launch their blockchain start-ups. Banks are boring to them.” Being a very versatile person, Alexander Brunner followed this path. After working for hedge funds, he left the finance world to pursue blockchain technology.
