“Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don’t”
With the aforesaid proverb I wish to highlight the fact that I possess both profound knowledge of finance and an industry experience in an increasing leadership role spanning across different industries including Consulting, corporate finance and banking. As a current sophomore MBA student at Schulich School of Business at York University I anticipate to hold down a job in the Financial Services Industry, leveraging the prior experience in Consulting, corporate finance and banking.
Working as a FICO SAP consultant
In a high performance environment, suggesting ways for the client to better control their costs, I readily applied my acquired knowledge in business processes such as Finance, Material Management, Sales and Distribution to perform at the best of my abilities. Owing to my good quality work and dedication towards my project, I was made the quality lead of my project. Later my seniors decided to promote me to the Quality leader of Business unit within a year of joining the company.
In my quest to better understand finance and become a more effective consultant, I completed CFA level 1 and NSE’s (National stock exchange – India) certification in financial management) certification. The knowledge gained helped in both designing my portfolio and becoming an effective consultant, winning new and repeat contracts for my employer.
