We speak with Dr Gregg Robins about his journey from a young musician living in the Bronx to finding himself at the center of major geopolitical events, including the fall of the Soviet Union and the formation of the Euro. We discuss his time at Oxford, his years in Moscow, and his thinking on the family office world.

Gregg Robins runs Robins Advising, a family-office consulting firm based in Geneva, Switzerland. Prior to Robins Advising, he ran the UBS in Moscow and opened the first UBP office in Moscow. Gregg has taught and lectured at leading business schools, including the Executive MBA programs with the NYU Stern school of business, and the New Economic School in Moscow. He was elected Teacher of the Year by his MBA students at NYU Stern in 2006.

Gregg holds a BA in Economics from Rice University. He was awarded a Marshall Scholarship to attend Oxford University, where he received a Masters and Doctorate, with specialty in Finance and Russian and Eastern European Studies. He is a Dean’s Fellow with Said Business School at Oxford.
