UNIBA Partners is a fantastic, international network of passionate and dynamic people. Our global partners with their more than 5,500 employees do not act as mere administrators, but rather are shapers and close allies alongside their customers.
As President, it is my honor to further strengthen and promote the spirit of our community as well as our cohesion. Highest reliable as well as maximum quality will remain our benchmarks in the future.
The Corona pandemic, political risks, climate change, cyber threats - just a few of the many issues we have to face. To be prepared for the future, we will further expand our proximity to customers. We will increase our market presence, strengthen our brand and win new parters. I am looking forward to this!
We are UNIBA - VIVA UNIBA!

Being a member in an international network is of vital importance for every Broker – regardless of the immediate financial results. Your efforts will pay off - you define the currency.
Being the President in these early days directly impacted the development of our growing group of members, including my own firm ATS, and allowed us to successfully compete for big international clients against the alphabet Brokers. The network enriched my life and gave me long lasting international friendships! And I’m proud to say that its roots are in Europe!
