Michael Baer

Michael is Chairman and Founder of Baer Capital Partners, an alternative asset manager with an India focus. He is also Chairman of a Swiss bank, an agriculture venture in India and a UK based investment management company. In addition, he has been involved in a variety of start-ups. He has over 30 years of international experience in investment banking, trading, and private banking. Michael started running only four years ago and quickly decided to take on the challenge of marathon length events. The Dubai marathon was the first, followed by Zurich, Berlin and Mumbai. He subsequently decided to run on every continent, a challenge he has completed in 2014 with his fellow YPOers (Young Presidents Organization). The ultimate challenge of getting a grand slam medal, and being the first Swiss to do so, is rather appealing. Other than running, Michael is an ardent skier and enjoys touring in the mountains of Austria during the winter months.
