Founding Partner, Chief Executive Officer

Nearly four decades in private banking, and still convinced the small details matter most.

Daniel's career began the Swiss way at UBS in Zurich in 1986, learning the craft from the ground up in derivatives and FX counterparty risk before rising through senior relationship management roles focused on Latin America. Postings with UBS and Credit Suisse took him from Zurich to the Cayman Islands and Nassau, where he served as Director and Desk Head for Latin America, caring for families across borders and generations.

After leading Andbank (Bahamas) as Head of Private Banking and then CEO, he took the helm of Syz Bank (Bahamas) in 2016, and in 2021 led the management buyout that transformed it into Nexor. He serves today as CEO, guiding the firm's growth including its expansion into Panama. A former board member of the Bahamas Financial Services Board, he has spent years helping shape the jurisdiction he calls home.
