In the future I hope to become a Venture Capitalist so that I may invest in future enterprises.

I hope with the foundation of investment learned at the Swiss Finance Academy along with my future aspirations, I will be able to attain that goal. I knew that if I could gain this initial exposure to the fields of investments and business from a great school like the Swiss Finance that it would fuel my drive towards a top M.B.A program and lead me one step closer to my goal.

How did Swiss Finance equip you with skills for your career?

At Swiss Finance, my professors and classmates helped me gain an introduction into the world of high finance. Investment banking, trading, and private equity all sounded like exciting career fields, but I before the program I lacked a clear picture of what was required to succeed in each career. As an electrical engineering major and theater minor, I came to Swiss Finance with relevant skills but lacking practical experience. By the time I left, I had an entire new area of knowledge that I felt comfortable in. This feeling would probably have taken years to evolve otherwise. How unconventional majors can be good training for investment banking: My engineering background has given me a foundation for understanding technology and the potential for the future, and my theatre background has provided me with the confidence and people skill to interact with others. I hope the combine the two with a M.B.A from a top school which will give me the knowledge of engineering, the public speaking skills of theatre, and the knowledge on how to execute those skills in business.
