  Prior to Creon Capital, Florian worked as the Chief International Reporter for “WirtschaftsWoche“, the leading German business weekly. Earlier, he was based in Moscow and reported as a CIS-Correspondent with the leading business-daily “Handelsblatt“. Well-known for his independent expertise on the region, Florian frequently speaks on conferences about topics such as modernization of economies, corruption and political risks. As and advisor he helps foreign investors to balance between political risks and economic opportunities in Russia, China, Africa and beyond. As a senior reporter Florian rarely generated merely short-living news in facts and figures. Instead, he provided in-depth-analysis of markets, which helped businesses in decision-making. In his analytics on Russia, for instance, he assessed the investment climate, governmental diversification efforts, the structural challenges for foreign investors and how political risks might affect their businesses. Apart from the post-soviet area Florian visited many “emerging” (and “frontier”) markets such as China, India, Vietnam, Mexico, Turkey and Kenya in order to compare business conditions on a global scale. With Creon Capital Florian applies his area-expertise to practice as a Director of Business Development, Marketing and Communications. His unique skillset and connections in both the business and political arenas makes him the ideal intermediator between Europe and Eurasia.
