Giovanni Salvetti, the head of Rothschild in Russia and CIS, takes five flights a week in his job managing the bank's operations from Kazakhstan to Ukraine.

In-between time, he has written a book of fairy tales for his children.

"I did not decide to create a book — it was a request of my children. Every night I am with them they want me to tell a story. They don't want me to read a story," Salvetti, 47, said after receiving the first printed edition of his book.
