Leonhard Fischer

Leonhard Fischer is a prominent German banker and financial manager. He is a principal partner of David Stern at D&A Services (UAE) Limited, providing the high-level banking expertise needed to manage complex sovereign-grade legal and financial strategies.

Career Background

• Banking Executive: Former CEO of Europe, Middle East & Africa at Credit Suisse.
• Leadership Roles: Former CEO of Dresdner Kleinwort & Wasserstein and BHF Kleinwort Benson Group.
• Glencore: Served on the board of the global commodities giant Glencore.

Connection to Djibouti

• D&A Services Operations: While Fischer's partner David Stern was officially managing investigations for Djibouti against Boreh, private communications (EFTA00817179) show they were simultaneously coordinating Epstein's "amusement" at Boreh's testimony for Dubai in the LCIA.
• The Shadow Layer: Fischer's background in global banking (Credit Suisse, Dresdner) provided the institutional credibility required for D&A Services to operate as a high-level intermediary in the $multi-billion port dispute.
