Biography
Martin Gloor is one of Switzerland's most prominent polo personalities, a player-organiser who has been instrumental in building the Swiss polo scene into a credible European presence and whose work behind the Swiss Open — one of Europe's more distinctive summer polo tournaments — has brought international high-goal polo to the Swiss market. Operating from the stunning Alpine foothills and lakes region that provides a unique backdrop to Swiss polo venues, Gloor combines a genuine 4-goal playing ability with the organisational intelligence and social capital required to run major tournament events. The Swiss Open attracts international professionals and patrons to venues in the vicinity of Lake Constance and other Swiss luxury destinations, bringing the world of high-goal polo into contact with Switzerland's ultra-high-net-worth community of watch industry executives, private banking professionals, and international hotel operators. Gloor's ability to navigate these worlds — the polo circuit and the Swiss luxury economy — has made him the key connective figure in Swiss polo's growth.
