Philipp Alena has dedicated his entire professional life to bond trading at Vontobel, first as a ringside trader and today as Head Risk Management Bonds. During these 45 years, Vontobel has grown from a small bank with 180 employees with offices exclusively in Zurich to over 2000 employees with 27 locations around the world. Reason enough for us to ask him how he has experienced the change and what the most drastic events have been.
