Hugo studied Business Administration in Vienna, Austria (Mag.) and holds an MBA from Kellogg University (US) / WHU (D). Hugo speaks fluently German and English, with a working knowledge of French and Spanish.

Starting in 1999, Hugo built and ran the "Acquisition Finance" team at Crédit Lyonnais' Frankfurt office, until he left in 2004 to launch his own consultancy company.
