What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to apply my institutional markets experience in investor relations, relationship management or investment management.

At Bank of America, I covered institutional investors across European and Emerging Markets equities, turning research and market developments into concise, client-ready updates. I also generated investment ideas and trade pitches, drawing on company news, macro developments and sector themes.

My experience includes equity sales, credit markets and structuring through Bank of America’s Global Markets Rotational Programme, as well as pharma research at SVAS. At EY, I contributed to automated financial reporting workflows that reduced the financial close cycle by 30%; I’ve also worked on procurement and finance analysis and economic policy.
