Master’s student in Venture Capital & Private Equity | Interested in early-stage investing and technology At UIC Barcelona, I’m studying Entrepreneurial Financing with a focus on Venture Capital and Private Equity, building on my background in international business, financial services and startups. Before starting the master’s, I worked at Brand New Day Bank, progressing from Junior to Senior Sales Agent, with experience in financial analysis, customer acquisition and commercial performance. I also worked with a Dutch SaaS startup and a French IoT startup. During my bachelor’s degree, I worked with Shamrock Ventures on my thesis, researching their pre-investment process and how they assess potential investments. I’m particularly interested in early-stage companies, technology, business models and the people behind them.
