Launch of the Senior Management Program in Geneva


Next week marks the official start of the Institute's new executive education offering, the Senior Management Program in Banking. The first study block of the program starts on Monday and takes place in Geneva at the Hotel de la Paix.

Patrick Odier, Managing Partner at Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch, will give the plenary lecture at a special opening event next Monday evening that is jointly hosted by Geneva Financial Center and the Swiss Finance Institute.

Held at Restaurant du Parc des Eaux Vives, Geneva, the invitation-only event will assemble banking director generals and CEOs from international banks and other leading financial service organizations.

Over the next 6 months, the 25 participants of the program will meet again in London, Frankfurt and Madrid where they will attend week-long study blocks on the latest strategic thinking in the banking industry.

The program will open on Monday morning with an introductory lecture by SFI Director of Executive Education Dr Harry Hurzeler (photo) and Program Director Dr Silvia Gerber.
