<strong>GGSB</strong> <strong>MSc</strong> <strong>Finance</strong><br />
April 2013<br />
Alumni Success Stories… some news from you!<br />
constructive manner the information you<br />
receive.<br />
This is the most challenging part which I like<br />
the most and where you can interact with<br />
people that have different perceptions.<br />
What do you do to keep your financial skills<br />
up to date<br />
In my point of view, the only way to keep up to<br />
date is doing <strong>de</strong>als and analyzing real world<br />
investments. I was disappointed with the<br />
financial training offered in the market as it was<br />
not realistic enough.<br />
What, in your opinion, are the skills required<br />
to become a high performing finance<br />
professional<br />
Be consistent, like any other job, discipline is<br />
the key point.<br />
What would be a typical working day for you<br />
A typical vacation day<br />
I start to work around 8h30 taking 30min to<br />
read online newspapers and focus on some<br />
headlines that might impact the Group´s<br />
business. After that, I usually have a to do list of<br />
tasks from different projects. I align some<br />
issues of the day or the week with my boss. My<br />
time is allocated to financial mo<strong>de</strong>ling of some<br />
businesses or assets that we will potentially<br />
acquire and scheduling meetings with the board<br />
of the Group. Most of the materials are in<br />
English version and an analyst always helps me<br />
to do it. I am also in charge of monitor the<br />
performance of LDC´s investees. Every month, I<br />
receive the financial report that plugs into my<br />
financial mo<strong>de</strong>ling. By analyzing some key<br />
metrics, we set some strategic and operational<br />
meetings in or<strong>de</strong>r to improve the performance. I<br />
usually finish late at night after 22h, every day.<br />
What are your most memorable moments at<br />
<strong>GGSB</strong><br />

amazing teachers such as Isabelle Chaboud,<br />
Stephanie Boyer and Christophe Bonnet. I have<br />
ma<strong>de</strong> some friends with who I’m still in touch.<br />
