During my last 15+ years in the industry, I have accumulated knowledge and experience in several departments, including, but not limited to, operations, trading and portfolio management. The diverse set of skills that I have been able to hone in over a decade in asset and private wealth management have allowed me to have a true understanding of - not only financial markets - but a practical understanding of how the overall industry runs on a daily basis. In addition to my actual work experience, in 2013 I became a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) which allowed me to combine my on the job training with a more formal and academic understanding of financial markets.
