Versavel is a Belgian citizen, born in 1960, banker, company director, and author. He started his international banking career in 1983. He and his wife, Brigitte, left Belgium in 1993, then lived in London, Seoul, Jakarta, Shanghai, Seoul again, Kyiv, Ulaanbaatar, and Colombo. His two daughters accompanied us on our travels until they started going to university. For almost 40 years, Versavel has lived and worked all over the world, from the United Kingdom to South Korea, Indonesia, China, Ukraine, Mongolia and Sri Lanka.

He witnessed revolutions, debated with the International Monetary Fund, played golf with Chief Financial Officers of some of the world's largest companies, discussed bond financing with Ministers of Finance, and saw currencies lose 500% of their value in just a few months. He has no compassion with politicians or corporate citizens who pretend all is fine and blame everything that goes wrong on the outside world, instead of themselves.
