Professor Spieser began his career as a financial analyst and a quantitative analyst at CCF bank (HSBC). He joined the Finance department of ESCP in 1990. Simultaneously, he worked as a strategist and chief economist at ETC Pollack, a brokerage institution, for 5 years. The CCF Bank sent him as a consultant to Russia to study the privatization process in the banking industry.

His research interests are threefold: the history of finance - the relationship between economics and finance - and the theoretical foundations of finance.
