What I'm looking for

I seek finance roles with exposure to investment banking, data-driven decision-making, collaborative teams, and clear paths for professional growth and increased responsibility.

I’m Arslan Mazhar Awan — a results-driven finance and policy professional with cross-functional expertise in investment analysis, public sector economics, and digital operations. With over 20 certifications from institutions including Yale, MIT, Google, and Liberty Mutual, I’ve developed a future-ready skill set that integrates financial acumen, data literacy, and strategic execution.

Holding a BS in Governance and Public Policy with minors in Economics and Management, I completed a thesis focused on green finance through public-private partnerships, reflecting my interest in innovative, sustainable financial models. Throughout my academic journey, I consistently ranked among the top of my cohort and earned merit-based scholarships, all while self-financing my education through freelance work in finance and economics.
