CURRICULUM VITAE

JOHN W. LANDGRAF PH.D. – CHAIRMAN AND CEO MONTSEGUR INTERNATIONAL

Coming to banking from 25 years of experience, with a variety of financial, security and risk mitigation consultancy, Dr. John Landgraf commands networks in offshore financial centers in terms of personnel, financial mechanisms, official and unofficial government control systems. He is, perhaps, second to none in comprehensive tracing of funds internationally, piercing laundering and other forms of criminal and illegal use of global banking systems. His clients include private high profile individuals, international companies, government agencies both domestic and abroad, and some of the world’s largest international banks as well as some of the most exclusive offshore private banks. He has provided his confidential services solving difficult problems involving such banks as Citibank, UBS, Bank of Austria, Credit Lyonnais, Standard Chartered, American Express, Bank Leumi, Barclays, Lloyds, Royal Bank of Canada, Midland, and others.

Dr. Landgraf has come to appreciate how legitimate investments and investors suffer financially and psychologically from mental limitations and constraints inherent in most private banking. Often the focus of his work has been in emerging countries, some of which are totalitarian regimes in which legitimate and wealthy individuals and corporations outside the United State vie for a different, far more personal and demanding level of service in private banking. As the international financial world absorbs diverse and often asymmetrical elements both in terms of opportunity and threat, private banking is being redefined for all clients in ways that the current industry is often ill equipped to address.

The differentials that Dr. Landgraf elucidated in profiling these growing numbers of vying investors include (a) safer context of client funds working for profit without their own government intervention in profit making, and (b) a utilization of a CFO style of client asset management with a wider range of investments that have excellent ROI. If so chosen by the client, they also have the options to contribute to sustainable development while making, in turn, excellent financial gains for their private account. Dr. Landgraf carefully focused this perspective in its full duality by investing his time during 2000-2006 in closely studying available services, their inducements to investors, and their constraining frameworks.
