Early life and education[edit]

He studied International Economics at the International School of Geneva but was not interested in going into banking, instead being more fascinated by the intersection where finance meets the more 'hands on' side of property development. In his early days, Byron attended the André-Chavanne School Geneva where he studied Business and Management.
