Victor Gugger has worked in the investment and money markets for over 20 years in Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong , London and Singapore. His involvement in music has been as an artist, producer and investor of talent over the last 20 years.
He has invested in many start-up business’s over that period of time, some successful, some not. These start-ups have been in a diversified field of activities and have involved many various forms of financing.
He can speak just as easily with creatives as with hard nosed number crunching accountants and has had a number of experiences trying to mesh the two together, with the ability to deliver a business plan that makes sense to both sides of the spectrum.
