Connecting

Two Worlds

Malik Lamin Bajo is a Swiss-Gambian finance professional driven by a deep personal connection to both Switzerland and West Africa. With over five years of experience at Switzerland's largest bank, he has built a robust foundation across institutional banking, African wealth management, and asset management with a focus on private markets — giving him an end-to-end understanding of how capital moves across continents and communities. Beyond traditional finance, Malik has strong knowledge of decentralised finance (DeFi) and digital assets, and is passionate about the transformative potential of blockchain technology in reshaping cross-border payments. Malik understands the challenges the African diaspora faces when engaging with opportunities in Africa — from friction in transactions and limited trust, to the overall complexity of the process. This lived experience, combined with his financial background, drives his commitment to building a more transparent, reliable, and accessible financial bridge between Switzerland and Africa.
