Robert Swannell, former chairman of Marks & Spencer, who worked with Bischoff for 33 years at Schroders and later Citi, said he would profoundly mourn his friend and colleague.

“Win was the most inspiring leader it’s possible to imagine; competitive and charming in equal measure,” Swannell said, adding that Bischoff was a keen and always competitive golfer, who enjoyed music, wine and holidaying in Italy. “Every day was a new adventure for him,” Swannell added.

In a six-decade career that spanned boom and bust and crisscrossed continents, he worked for some of the world’s largest banks and finance firms.
