About Ani
I'm a Vice President in the Food, Consumer & Retail investment banking group at BMO Capital Markets with 6+ years of experience advising clients across M&A, DCM, and ECM transactions. Over the course of my career, I've worked on transactions totaling more than $10 billion in value across a wide range of consumer and retail sectors. I am here to help simplify the recruiting process for you - anything from refining technical and behavioral / fit interview skills to sharing practical insights from working on live transactions at a global bank. Whether you're recruiting for internships, analyst roles, or lateral opportunities, I aim to provide candid, actionable guidance grounded in real-world experience.
Why do I coach?
As a non-target candidate that broke into the industry, I understand the importance of having a strong mentor and champion to help you succeed. I would not be here if I didn't have great mentors that helped me every step of the way. I want to be your champion. I've coached 100+ students and early-career professionals over the last few years. Whether you need guidance on networking, interview preparation, or breaking into the industry, I'm here to provide personalized coaching and support.
