Lucas Demetrio

I am 27 years old and a graduated student of Bachelor's in Economics at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in Brazil.

Since the beginning of my academic journey, I have been guiding it with the intention of working with finance. To this end, I have taken courses and participated in projects that provided me with the necessary knowledge to enter this market and start my professional career.

I was part of the Financial Market League at the university, where I could learn a lot from my colleagues about the main topics that surround this great universe, besides being able to participate in several panels and conversations with professionals already inserted in the market. Within the league I had the opportunity to start two projects, namely the Morning Call - in which we provided news about the financial market early in the morning and shared with the academic community via social networks of the League - and the Investment Banking - where we trained the members of the League with the main topics covered in this area, leveling the knowledge of all about ECM, M&A and DCM. It was an excellent experience to have the first contact with what you actually see in the day-to-day life of a professional.

With much study, I took the CPA-20 certification by ANBIMA. In addition, I took courses such as Financial Markets, Valuation, Macroeconomics and Assets Analysis, and a deep-oriented one in Investment Banking by Saint Paul, as well as operational courses to use Excel, Power Point, Word and Power BI at an advanced level, and programming languages such as VBA and Python.

My last experience was in the IB Equity Capital Markets department at Citi, where I could be inserted in a big ocean of knowledge about equities, macroeconomics and corporate finance, besides being able to interact with other departments of Investment Banking, such as M&A and DCM, in the preparation of pitches for some clients. I was also able to exercise my commercial skills and participate in direct meetings and presentations with clients and investors.

I am an extremely dedicated person with a great thirst for knowledge. I am always willing to learn and to help the team with demands. I work very well in a team, I am proactive and optimistic, very focused on my goals, and available to face challenges.
