Meet the skipper

Steffen Liess

Born in Germany and proud dual citizen of Germany and Switzerland, I’m an experienced financial analyst with extensive expertise in equity sales.

Beyond my financial career, I’ve also achieved success in the field of high-performance sports. As the National High Performance Director of Swiss Swimming and team leader of the Swiss Aquatic Teams at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, and earlier as an athlete, participating in swimming competitions at European and World levels.

My sailing passion is another essential aspect of my life. In my younger years, I was a regular windsurfer and dinghy sailor. In more recent years and as a happy owner of a Moody 41AC, I skippered two Atlantic crossings and also sailed in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the Baltic Sea, always showcasing my determination and adventurous spirit.
