(OMT, 2004)

I took Spanish A level at school and started Portuguese as an optional module at university. As part of my undergraduate degree, I spent a year abroad (third year of the course) and was able to spend c.5 months in Brazil and c.5 months at the University of Granada, Spain. At the end of that year, I also completed Finance internships in London. I started my career in financial advisory at Rothschild & Co and am a Managing Director in the Healthcare team. I have been fortunate to have worked with clients in Spain and Latin America. English is the general language of business but being able to speak with clients and colleagues in their native languages is very beneficial. Brits speaking foreign languages is always a differentiator.
