Markus Alexander Flesch, Head of Sales and Marketing for Eurex Zurich AG
"Karate is more than just movement and coordination. The added dimensions of discipline, drive and patience are actively practiced - virtues that are of great benefit in day-to-day life."
"Self-control, as is practiced in karate, is also beneficial in business life."
"Playing a personal role in the creation of a new index product is very motivating."
Markus Alexander Flesch left the banking world to join Eurex as a derivatives specialist. Here, this graduate in business administration enjoys the pulsating pace of market happenings in countries such as Switzerland, Italy and Greece - as well as the freedom to initiate, co-develop and market new products. Practicing karate gives him the composure and perseverance required for his job.
