Falcon Veterans

Vayloyan, the new CEO of Bitcoin Suisse, and Bigger are both representatives of the Swiss banking industry, having both worked for years at Credit Suisse. Vayloyan was head of private banking Switzerland, while Bigger was in charge of compliance at the banking giant.

Later, Vayloyan and Bigger joined their former colleague, Walter Berchtold, at Falcon Private Bank. Shortly after the rather sudden departure of Berchtold, they also left the Zurich-based private bank – and now they are reunited at Bitcoin Suisse.

Falcon the Pioneer

Not by chance for sure – the two bankers together with Nikolajsen had launched the first Bitcoin product at a Swiss private bank for their former employer. Vayloyan took an active role in the development of the product while Bigger convinced the financial market authority Finma to authorize the new offering.

Evidently, Bitcoin Suisse now plans to offer its services to other banks and asset managers. Falcon will remain a client and pioneering company – but the architects of the product have since moved on.
