What I'm looking for

I seek transaction-focused roles in M&A, private equity, or private credit where I can apply advanced modeling and deal execution skills, collaborate with investment teams, and contribute to high-impact transactions.

I am a dedicated finance professional with hands-on experience in M&A, private equity, and private credit across Europe and Africa. I have built LBO models for €300m–€2.7bn financings, contributed to a €100m acquisition, and supported the €150m sale of a client, consistently preparing investment committee materials and delivering actionable financial analysis.

I design revenue-generating educational programs and lead partnership development, having launched a corporate finance bootcamp that generated €15k in its first edition and organized conferences reaching 1,000+ students. I combine technical modeling and valuation skills with stakeholder engagement and program delivery to drive impact in transaction and strategy environments.
