It is led by co-founder Philipp Graf, formerly of British-Swiss fund firm Twelve Capital, in which Graubündner Kantonalbank acquired a holding at the beginning of the year. The company’s president and namesake is Robert Lilja, a former Lazard investment banker who also sat on the board of directors of the Swiss medtech company Nobel Biocare.
