Over 15 years of experience designing and delivering bespoke training solutions to leading investment banks, private equity firms, management consultancies, asset management firms, Fortune 500 companies, top universities, business schools and individuals. Throughout my career, I have accumulated over 8,000 classroom hours, covering a wide range of topics including interview prep, accounting, corporate valuation, financial and business case modeling, M&A and LBO analysis, as well as advanced software techniques in tools such as Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint. I have also led an annual interview prep workshop for the MBA and MIF programs and mentored students and conducted mock interviews at IE Business School since 2019. Before transitioning to teaching, I spent more than a decade in investment banking with Bear Stearns, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of America, working across the US, Europe, and Latin America. I gained extensive experience in various industries, working on equity and debt financings and M&A transactions. During my banking career, I also developed and led several internal training programs, including new analyst and associate training at Bear Stearns, healthcare-specific training at Deutsche Bank and Bank of America, and a training initiative for a team of analysts in India as part of the firm's offshoring strategy. Additionally, I was actively involved in campus recruiting, resume reviews and interviews. Having trained and coached many individuals over the years, I am passionate about helping aspiring finance professionals achieve their career goals.
