Mr Auer began his career at First & Merchants National Bank in Richmond, Virginia, and moved to Credit Suisse where he was a special representative in Tehran, Iran, and head of private banking in Singapore. He then joined Bank J Vontobel in Zurich where he was the head of the overseas clients division, including institutional clients in the Middle and Far East/Pacific regions.
