Alexander Fessas, ICC
Alexander Fessas has been walking the halls of the ICC Court of Arbitration for more than a decade where he has worn many hats from Deputy to Managing Counsel and for the last half decade -- Secretary General. He has also been an active voice and dynamic figure in the field the world over. But one of the things we strive to do here at ToT is to get to know the people behind their careers, and this interview does just that. We take a look at Alex’s pre-ICC life and get his thoughts on current goings on in the field.
