About Our Sponsor(s):
Credit Suisse
On July 5, 1856, the prominent politician, business leader, and pioneer Alfred Escher founded "Schweizerische Kreditanstalt"
This success story continued over the next century and a half, with Credit Suisse gradually evolving into a leading global provider of financial services. On the one hand, this was achieved through strong organic growth, but it was also supplemented by a series of significant mergers and acquisitions. This involved the amalgamation of very different cultures, philosophies, and spheres of specialist knowledge to create a strong integrated bank.
As a leading global financial services provider, Credit Suisse has operations spanning every continent and a presence in all of the world's major financial centers. Ours is a global business. As we continue to strengthen our position around the world, we are looking for bright, motivated individuals who will play a part in delivering tailor-made, integrated solutions, now and for the future.
