so I was able to take my Finance knowledge learned at university and put it to practical use at Swis Finance. The amount of financial knowledge covered in just a few weeks dramatically expanded my skills and I feel gave me an edge when entering the job market. The program was intensive in every aspect, the technical skills taught were advanced and certainly lived up to the training that is received at the Bulge Bracket Investment Banks. The program helped me focus on my career objectives. It also made the remaining finance courses I took in university much easier. During the program I acquired many skills including like multiple valuation methodologies and M&A strategy, as well as practice using them, which undergraduates do not often encounter. Thus, I could relate the coursework I completed upon return to school to the larger picture. Favorite Hobby:
Golf. I have been a fanatical golfer from the age of thirteen and am currently playing to a handicap of one. To get to this level I had committed myself to put in many hours of practice, and spent many a summer traveling to play in tournaments, all in order to better my game. From this I gained a lot of experience and even represented my home country, Ireland in La Manga, Spain in the GB&I matchplay Championship. I have also achieved an All Ireland Gold Medal in 2002. I believe that the dedication and hard work required to excel at golf can be equally well applied to one’s career.
How would you describe your Swiss Finance classmates?
We all gelled - in fact, even though we are from different geographic locations, we still keep in touch!
Did Swiss Finance meet your expectations?
I was uncertain about the course pre-attended, but afterwards I can easily say that it was the catalyst for my career in Finance.Thank You.
