What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my analytical skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on strategic decision-making and client engagement.

I am a results-driven professional with a strong expertise in data analysis, market research, and strategic decision-making. My experience spans supporting private equity, hedge fund, and trading clients in high-pressure, fast-paced environments. I pride myself on being a strong communicator and team player, with a proactive approach and an eye for detail that enables me to deliver insights that drive business outcomes.

Currently, I serve as a Client Associate at Third Bridge, where I lead multiple investment projects and have successfully mentored new associates to become project managers. My efforts have consistently exceeded personal targets and contributed to record-breaking team performance. I have a proven track record of building long-term client relationships and driving the adoption of new product offerings, integrating insights into client workflows to enhance their strategic decision-making.

Previously, I have held roles in trading and account management, where I honed my skills in financial analysis, risk assessment, and client portfolio management. My ability to conduct in-depth research and provide strategic recommendations has been instrumental in optimizing client returns and ensuring smooth transaction processes. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to impactful business decisions.
