Spear’s Review

Marco Kern is the founder of Zurich-based private office Sesalpena, which describes itself as a ‘strategic specialist for luxury mobility and assets, financing solutions, entrepreneurs’ needs and private management’.

The former leader of Credit Suisse’s aviation and yacht finance business identifies strong demand in markets for jet and yacht financing. 

He tracks trends in loans against pools of assets such as jets, helicopters and yachts, as well as luxury real estate and other special assets such as art and cars. 

He also holds private pilot licences for both aircraft and helicopters. ‘If you don’t find me in the air or on a sailing boat, you will probably find me skiing,’ he said.
