The journey from a prototype to a revenue generating startup.
Worked alongside the founder and secured a major bank as a client.
What did I work on?
Organised events at LSE and KCL, created a Covid-compatible product, hired & onboarded an intern and covered the business development to large banks alongside the CEO.
We delivered training to the interns of our first client, a major bank, in July. From a concept to a money making startup – finsimco.com
The product. An innovative Investment Banking training product for both the student market and major banks.
Strategic Thinking
July 2019, meeting with officials at U.S. State Dept.
Invited to the largest Mediterranean geopolitics conference and won a foreign policy scholarship to meet directors at the IMF, World Bank and other top institutions.
International relations is a passion
I started by exploring it by competing at Model UN conferences and within student societies.
Industry team projects
Feb. 2019, BCG hackathon at their London Office.
Hackathons?
At hackathons I would form a team with people I’d met on the weekend, and tackle challenges in unfamiliar industries (O&G, Finance, Travel, etc) – winning 3 prizes.
I’d often be presenting our team’s final product to SVPs and industry experts (from GS, BCG, Accenture, Airbus, etc). Link to view all.
Working with senior figures
May 2019, on the University Referendum debate stage.
I was the spokesperson for controversial position at University wide referendum and worked closely with the University CFO and Head of Strategy.
Relaunching a University Society
In a matter of months, the society reached the semifinals of a UK uni. competition, organised talks with speakers from GS, VC and PE and hosted a 160 person black-tie charity dinner – we fundraised £500!
The story?
Studying at a non-target university means we don’t receive as many Investment Banking (IB) opportunities.
So, this November, I organised an IB workshop. From this, two economics students and I relaunched the then defunct Econ. & Finance Society.
My Experiences
Picture above – presenting at the 2019 Hamburg Air Passenger Conference. Here is a video of the whole thing.
A high level overview of some of my major experiences. I’ve also done significant debating and project work at hackathons which are highlighted on my projects page.Me receiving a bursary (sponsored by PMI) for a foreign policy scheme in the US. Right is Eugenio Sidoli, MD PMI, Italy.
Leading teams at Hackathons
Competed at 6 Hackathons. Prizes in 3.
First Prize analysing Goldman Sachs API financial data at Accenture sponsored Hackathon. Parsed twitter posts and compared it to the stock market value of companies in relevant sectors.
