About me: I am originally from Colombia and hold a bachelors in Economics from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. Before joining the MBA programme at LBS, I spent two years in asset management and four years in investment banking at Bancolombia, focusing on capital markets.
I joined LBS to strengthen my strategic and leadership skills and to explore how finance can drive sustainable development in emerging markets. I am passionate about promoting financial inclusion and gender equality through innovative financial structures. I am also deeply interested in leveraging data and no-code/low-code automation tools to stay at the forefront of the world’s digital transformation.
Outside of work and academics, I enjoy board game nights, photography and travelling. I moved to London with my husband, who is pursuing a masters in Law at another university in the city.
Three topics I can be approached about: Moving with a partner; MBA applications; life at LBS.
