Biography

De Pury was a delegate of the Federal Council for Trade Agreements in Switzerland and served as Switzerland's Trade Ambassador, and representing the country at the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1987.

De Pury succeeded Fritz Leutwiler as the Co-Chairman of ABB Group, serving in that capacity from 1992 to 1996. He later served as the Chairman of BBC Brown Hoveri. He held a number of government offices, including working in the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs in Bern. He represented Switzerland in The Hague, Brussels, and Washington, D.C.. In the 1980s he served as the Governor for Switzerland at the Inter-American Development Bank. He was a board member of Nestlé, Ciba-Geigy and Zurich Insurance and Chairman and publisher of Le Temps. In 1996 he co-founded the wealth management firm de Pury, Pictet, Turrettini.

De Pury was Vice President of the Lucerne Classical Music Festival.

In 1995 he called for a liberalization of the Swiss economy and was criticized for trying to "dismantle" the welfare state.

In April 1993 he spoke to university students at the Harvard Kennedy School about governmental and commercial issues. He was chosen to speak at the school due to his active role in the annual International Management Symposium in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

De Pury died from cancer on 27 December 2000 at a hospital in Zürich.
