«The choice and review of the strategic and tactical asset allocation of a single-family office like MMG and its supervision and management require teamwork based on technical expertise and insights into current trends and potential future developments. This is where I can contribute by bringing in my considerable expertise and experience in various other business sectors, trade associations, and other relevant organizations.»
