What was your pre-MFin background?
I was a Management Consultant at Bain & Company where I was involved in strategy, implementation and private equity due diligence projects across South East Asia and New York City.
Why was the Cambridge MFin an attractive programme for you?
Cambridge was my first choice because it was a one-year programme that offers advanced and concentrated finance courses related to M&A and Private Equity investments. This would further differentiate my career from a generalist towards a private markets and investments specialist.
What stood out about the academic learning experience for you?
The programme really enabled me to spend 12 months focusing, learning and being open-minded about M&A/investments, while being taught by best-in-class professors and practitioners. Most importantly, I had a lot of fun meeting new lifelong friends from around the world and participating in competitions (sports and professional case competitions) during my time at Cambridge.
What aspect of the MFin learning experience would you say you find most useful now in your professional life?
The knowledge and network of the Business School and the University of Cambridge continues to benefit me in my professional career.
Did you switch any of the following after your MFin – function, sector or country?
I switched all 3! I switched from management consulting to private equity buy out. My role went from a strategy consultant to an investment/deal team member. I used to be based in Bangkok and have relocated to Singapore.
Would you recommend the Cambridge MFin and why?
Yes, 100%.
