A Swiss-Canadian living in Geneva, Jeremy grew up in Lausanne the home of SwissBorg headquarters. As a young kid he loved the outdoors and was an avid hockey player. Playing hockey gave him an appreciation of teamwork- of working hard to reach a collective goal.

His education was a classic one, with a Bachelors in Economics and a Masters in Finance & Banking from the University of Paris (II Pantheon). After receiving his bac Jeremy went on a one year sabbatical traveling the world and getting to know the vast and colorful expanse of humanity beyond Geneva. A year of internship at a Hedge Fund and he knew that he had a passion for finance and wanted to engage in its study. Money and finance connected the world together like nothing else and managing wealth is the most universal language.

Professionally, Jeremy comes from a background in equity investment banking and asset management. He began his career working for six years at the Lombard Odier Private Bank in Geneva, through the graduate program in investment strategy and was promoted to Equity Portfolio manager, for UHNW clients, co-managing equity portfolios with a focus on US equities. He went on to co-found a startup in the hotel food industry in Paris.

At SwissBorg Jeremy is in charge of corporate finance. Supervising the management of cash flows, accounting, legal & tax requirements, governance and standards. Excited about the promise of the cryptocurrency revolution, he makes sure that all transactions are planned and executed in compliance with the intricate legal and tax exigencies of this new space in finance.

When asked how he came to join the SwissBorg team Jeremy Baumann talks with the eagerness of someone just back from an exotic adventure to which he will return shortly. On a visit to Lausanne from Paris, Cyrus Fazel, a long-time friend, asked Jeremy to visit the SwissBorg office, “I had heard about ICO’s and blockchain, but didn’t really grasp their full potential, when Cyrus and Anthony, the co-founders started explaining more in depth, the crypto space, the technology behind that fuels it and SwissBorg’s place in it, I had a breakthrough. I understood the full depth of the paradigm shift that we are witnessing and its implications for a better future. I fell in love with the philosophy of decentralization, transparency and meritocracy, of being part of a community. I was awed by how blockchain technology had for the first time aligned collective and personal interests. I knew then that I wanted to be part of the SwissBorg team and was confident that I could give 100% of my energy and experience to helping rebuild the future of finance working at the core of the SwissBorg team.”
