After graduating and obtaining my MBA in December 2020, I ultimately switched from Consulting in Brazil, to starting a new exciting chapter of my career in Investment Banking in London.

The pandemic has merely fast-tracked a longer-term trend that is radically transforming the way organisations conduct business.
