Andres’ journey
I am a Colombian national. I completed my Bachelors in Industrial Engineering and Electrical Engineering at Universidad de los Andes, Colombia in 2008. After graduation, I continued studying part time and was awarded the degree of Master of Science in Engineering in 2010. I can speak fluent Spanish and English.
Despite my engineering background, I made my professional career in the financial industry. I worked at Colombia’s Mercantile Exchange (BMC) as a senior analyst developing business opportunities for the exchange in conjunction with the main commodity sectors in the country. From 2011 and before starting the MFin, I worked for the Colombian Deposit Insurance Company (FOGAFIN) for the investments and risk department, monitoring the fund’s investment portfolio.
Upon the completion of the MFin, I returned to Colombia to continue my work at FOGAFIN where I was a project manager, leading proposals regarding investment strategies and financial risk mitigation.
I chose to pursue the programme at Cambridge because of the perfect balance it offered: a world-class education for financial professionals embedded at the heart of one of the most prestigious universities in the world.
