Christof Leisinger
Born in Schopfheim, Baden-Baden, he specialized in economics after completing his studies of agricultural economics, with a specialization in international financial management. This paved the way for the trading floor of a major international bank, where he was involved in trading and consulting in all aspects of investing, especially with regard to derivative products. The joy of writing and "developing" interesting ideas led him as a journalist to Frankfurt, there on a small detour to FAZ and finally after some years to NZZ.
