Subsequent to his studies at the University of Zurich and the Franklin Pierce Law Center (Concord, New Hampshire) and prior to joining IPI in 2005, Emanuel was a practicing lawyer in Zurich.
His profession of choice would have rather been a guitar player but lack of musicality had proven to be a decisive obstacle.
