Robert has 30 years experience as an in-house global financial institutions (BofA and Deutsche Bank) in New York and Frankfurt. Prior to that, 6 yrs at Cleary Gottlieb as a banking and securities law associate. Having U.S. and French law degrees, Robert thrives in a comparative context and cherishes the greater objectivity that expatriate experiences often bring. His practice areas (derivatives, securities, banking) are often well ahead of development of the law. So he is no stranger to ambiguity and uncertainty - good intellectual tools for today’s world. At BofA he co-leads a new Strategic Innovation & Thinking work stream within his department’s Innovation Steering Council. He splits life as much as possible between New York City and Hamburg. Trans-atlanticism has always been core to his life. In the Ambassador role he seeks to be a bridge between like-minded innovators on both continents and convince more of his fellow North Americans to taste the refreshing Liquid Experience.

Anita is a lawyer, researcher, and most of all an expat. Living abroad for more than a decade with her family deepened her interested in the cultural concepts behind law. A topic she studied many years ago at university as part of her specialisation in the law of cultures, religions and legal philosophy. However, Anita's legal practice mainly concentrated on litigation and arbitration in civil law. Currently, Anita is focusing once again on research. Especially, the question how technology can help us keep control over our lives. Regardless of our whereabouts and cultural backgrounds.
