Here’s my conversation with Professor Alexander Wagner, one of the world’s leading financial economists, a Professor at the Department of Banking and Finance of the University of Zurich (UZH) and a senior chair of the Swiss Finance Institute (SFI).
Professor Wagner has taught corporate finance to thousands of students and hundreds of executives, and he has helped shape the governance systems of companies, large and small. He is the Chairman of the Executive Education of the UZH Faculty of Business, Economics, and Informatics and Co-Head of the UZH Center for Crisis Competence. He has served as chairman of a proxy advisor and as an independent counsel for PwC. His research focuses on corporate finance, sustainable finance, and behavioural economics.
