Afonso Vilhalva, Frm Email & Phone Number

From the feedback I have received from the people that I have worked with, the most common qualities that I listen about myself are: leadership capacity, positive mentality and good interpersonal skills. My ambition is to have the opportunity to work in the finance sector, especially in banking. My parents definitely had an important role in my passion for Finance. My father is a businessman and has a special taste for investing on the stock market. Since I was young, he and my mother instigated my passion by explaining some concepts related to the world of trading and banking. Nonetheless, they never forgot to warn me about the risks and the expertise that is needed to operate in financial markets. The most important lesson that they passed to me and that, according to them, only a very few people know, was: how to manage my money. In addition to this, during my Masters and Bachelor´s Degree, I had the opportunity to develop my finance knowledge by high quality professors in Finance subjects and it is due to them that my interest for this area had significantly increased. I trust my academic background has given me a strong foundation in Statistics, Mathematics and Finance to pursue this path. In the future, I definitely see myself in a workplace that has values such as justice, integrity and transparency.
