About
From the Trading Floor
to Your Family Room
For over 15 years, I worked in finance, private banking across Zurich and London, advising high-net-worth families on how to grow and protect their money. I saw first-hand how structured financial planning, long-term thinking, and clear decision frameworks help families build security and opportunity.
I watched these families give their children something priceless: optionality. Their kids could fail at a startup and try again. Take low-paying but meaningful jobs. Say no to wrong opportunities.
This was not about having millions. It was about starting early and thinking strategically.
When my daughter Ebba was born, I decided that ordinary families deserve these same options and strategies. Not simplified down but translated into practical steps you and your family can take.
Learn With Ebba is my way of levelling the playing field.
We bring proven wealth-building principles out of private banking into everyday homes. Here, financial planning is not about complexity or perfection. It is about building confidence, resilience, and choice, one small decision at a time.
I am also writing a children's book that teaches financial confidence through imaginative storytelling for ages 4–12. I started it for Ebba, but it is for every family who wants their children to grow up confident with money to become more resilient and prepared for life.
Explore the blog for insights, try the calculators, and discover resources and products designed to inspire meaningful financial learning at home.

The Book
Most children grow up confused about money. Most parents do not know where to start. I could not find a bedtime story about financial confidence that did not feel like a lecture so I am creating one.
I am a wealth management professional with 15+ years in finance and private banking across Zurich and London. But this book? I am writing it for my daughter, Ebba. After years of helping clients build wealth, I realized these essential skills - understanding money, compound interest, planning - were not taught to kids in ways they would actually remember.
Through Ebba's magical adventure children ages 4-12 will learn timeless lessons about earning, saving, investing, patience, gratitude, and resilience. Real financial wisdom wrapped in a story kids actually want to read.

The ripple effect of financial education from students to parents
When children learn finance in school, that knowledge doesn’t just stay with them — it often improves family finances too. A study in Peru showed that parents’ loan default risk dropped and credit scores improved after students took financial courses. That means teaching kids about money can benefit entire households.
