Guest Lecture: Georg Freiherr von Boeselager of Merck Fink & Co

April 3rd, 2012

Georg Freiherr von Boeselager of Merck Fink & Co was the guest speaker for the spring guest lecture event at Globe Business College Munich on Thursday 29th of March, which was undertaken in partnership with the American German Chamber of Commerce.

Following a welcome drink, guests listened to opening addresses by the GBCM Dean, Dr Susan Walsh and Mr Andreas Würtenberger, the Co-Chairman of the Bavarian Committee of Amcham.

Freiherr von Boeselager then gave an interesting insight into the history of the private banking sector in Germany and an overview of the 142 years of entrepreneurial tradition at Merck Finck, which focuses on the values of knowledge, relationship, security and closeness to clients. The changes and challenges within banking in general and the world economy were also discussed. The presentation was relevant and informative for both the students of GBCM and the wider audience of professionals and academics in attendance.
