About Edgar

Hi there — I’ve been coaching and mentoring for over a decade, helping people at every stage of their careers: from students taking their first steps in finance to professionals targeting top IB and PE roles. Over the years, I’ve worked with candidates from every background — non-targets, first-generation students, Ivy League graduates, minorities, and internationals — helping them navigate one of the most competitive recruiting landscapes in the world. My own path wasn’t straightforward. I broke into Barclays Investment Banking from a public, non-target university — back in 2011, when the acceptance rate was below 1%. I later transitioned into private equity, becoming the Associate responsible for Spain & Portugal at Pamplona Capital ($15bn AUM) while also receiving offers from other global funds. Eventually, I followed my entrepreneurial drive by founding Surca Capital, a search fund through which I acquired and now operate an SME. Academically, I completed my MBA at Kellogg - I was awarded a Fulbright scholarship and a Merit scholarship, and became a Zell Fellow. Since then, I contribute to admissions decisions at Kellogg and have become chair of the Spanish Fulbright Committee. Today, I balance running my own investment vehicle with coaching candidates who want to break into finance or take their careers to the next level.
