Behind the Success Stories
As a recent graduate from Bayes Business School in London, I’ve often wondered what it really takes to succeed in finance. The more I’ve listened to experienced professionals, the clearer it has become: success is built on values that are shared among many professionals in the industry.
For anyone starting, these lessons are invaluable. They remind us that breaking into the industry isn’t just about getting a foot in the door, it’s about laying the foundation to grow, adapt, and thrive in the long run.
CV
An ambitious team player with strong communication and presentation skills. I am a natural problem solver for the departments of the companies I have worked for, as well as for my colleagues and clients. I am experienced in engaging stakeholders across diverse cultures and seniority levels. I recently earned a 1st class Finance and Banking degree while working as an accountant, which has developed strong organisational skills and the ability to perform efficiently under tight deadlines. While I initially focused on sales and account management, I have chosen to establish a career in Finance, driven by my genuine interest in financial markets and analytics.
