Michèle Glauser graduated from the tri-national study programme in International Business Management, from France, Germany and Switzerland. During this time, she concluded an exchange semester at the University Federal of Bahia, Brazil where she focused on the Brazilian economy and international trade. Michèle acquired a background in banking through a commercial apprenticeship and internal education programmes at a Swiss bank which helped her to develop a strong interest in international economics, financial markets and investments.
