About me:
I’m passionate about sustainable finance and the role of private investing and capital markets in driving inclusive growth. I’m currently a principal banker at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), based in London, where I lead and support the bank’s investments into diverse financial institutions across emerging markets. Over the past five years, I’ve progressed through multiple roles at the EBRD, having started my career as an equity analyst covering listed Middle East and North Africa (MENA) financial institutions.
I completed all three levels of the CFA Program in 2024 and am now pursuing the MIFPT programme at LBS. It has been an unparalleled and dynamic experience, which is allowing me to deepen my expertise while connecting with inspiring people from around the world.
