My experiences working as Consultant in London and as Corporate Lawyer in the Philippines have allowed me to hone the following skills that would enable me to accomplish the goals of this project:
- Analytical. As a full-time MBA student at London Business School, I undertook various internships where I conducted market and financial analysis. I led primary and secondary research to evaluate industry and business models, map the competitive landscape, determine target clients, and formulate strategies for market entry and expansion.
- Problem solving. Due to my innovative thinking and problem solving abilities, I was instrumental in the negotiation and execution of various financial transactions. Given my aptitude in balancing the big picture with the details, I played a key role in resolving a major issue that had caused a deal to be in deadlock for 3 years.
- Communication & presentation. Throughout my career, I have been exposed to dealing with and influencing different levels of an organisation (from rank-and-file to senior executives). I also actively managed client relationships to win and retain businesses, negotiated transactions and delivered concise and meaningful presentations.
In addition, my experiences advising various organisations, from domestic companies and firms in Europe and Asia to multinational corporations, have honed my ability to quickly understand and provide detailed and comprehensive analysis of industries, competitive landscapes and customers.
