About

A bit about me

I recently joined EssilorLuxottica as a Junior Analyst in Logistics, bringing with me an MSc in Finance and hands-on experience from internships in Banking and Private Equity.

I'm a curiosity-driven individual who strives for knowledge across multiple areas. My ability to work effectively in teams and communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely has enabled me to succeed across a variety of projects.

In my free time, I conduct cryptocurrency research and studies — and I write about data and finance on Medium.
