Thence, he entered the securities business with Robert Fleming, where he was involved in the Eurobond market. He first became involved in corporate finance with Swiss private bankers, Sarasin & Cie. of Basel, where he conducted transactions in the USA and effected several listings of securities on the Vienna Stock Exchange of which, in 1990, he was made an honorary member.
