Michael Sebastian H  

Chairman / CEO / President / Founder

Michael is a seasoned investment professional, holding positions as Chairman, CEO, President, and Founder, bringing with him 30 years of experience in the issuance, management, trading, and selling of financial products across Asia, the USA, and Europe.

Michael's unique insight into capital markets is rooted in a dataset comprising 16 million financial products (99% of all financial products worldwide) processed over 12 years. Through an accurate interpretation of MiFID II / Investor Protection (as intended by the legislator), he envisions a capability to outperform any financial product within the MiFID II / Investor Protection context.

This concept has garnered significant media attention, resulting in 74 articles and 700+ publications in major European newspapers. This has serviced various industries including Asset Management, Wealth Management, Independent Asset Managers, Private & Retail Banking, Financial Products, Trading, Advisory Services, Risk Management, Startups, Media Relations, MiFID II / Investor Protection, Insurance Companies, and Pension Funds.

Throughout his entrepreneurial and executive journey over the past three decades, Michael has developed a keen ability to grasp overarching visions, understand events leading to present circumstances, and detect the subtle connections between facts, transforming seemingly difficult situations into positive outcomes.

With the industry currently undergoing a drastic transformation due to regulatory requirements, big tech, and investor concerns about shareholder value in an evolving environment, Michael understands the need for adapting to these changes. He recognizes that the ultimate goal of technology is to simplify processes, and in this context, new skills will rise and traditional profiles will evolve or become obsolete.

Whether it's helping someone craft a CV, coaching them for an interview, strategizing for a promotion, refining a team's vision, or assisting executives in aligning their strategy to meet board requirements, Michael sees this as a process-oriented approach with the ultimate goal being quality.

In 2013, Michael established a foundation with the mission to empower people to invest confidently and securely, promoting socio-economic stability. The foundation was co-founded with a distinguished member of the European Parliament well-versed in financial services.

The foundation's goal is to educate people globally about the risks associated with financial products, providing educational resources to help them make better investment decisions. With this enhanced understanding, they can contribute to the capital markets more effectively.
