The main ingredient of my personal development is my natural curiosity. The need, to understand more about the world around me, is steadily driving me into new areas. For a long time, I have been admiring the universal geniuses of past times, which seem unapproachable from today’s perspective.However, an extraordinary combination of graduate study programs at least allowed me to unify a quantitative mindset with the personality of an international business student. Relevant experiences from Switzerland, Canada, and South Africa includeUniversity• Behavioral economics: Social preferences & voting behaviour (master’s thesis)• Renewable energies: Business model innovation in electricity markets• Financial markets: Volatility models, Evaluation of investment strategies• Consumer Food: Internationalisation strategy (Danone), Customer insights (General Mills)• Econometrics: Simulation study for maximum-likelihood estimation• Software: three classes about programming in RProfessional• zeb: Consultant (Finance & Risk) since March 2018• Raz Tech: Extended product data base with automated sales analysis (>2.5k SKUs), Implementation of a reverse-logistics process & reporting• SEW: Support & Management of a multi-year scientific study (>100 participants)• Baloise Insurance: two extensive pricing analysis (with surveys), Competitor comparisons• Vimentis: Author of seven publications in the field of Swiss politics (>100k reader), Voter migration analysis with presentations at several partiesI prefer to work in a combination of teamwork and independent work. To me, teamwork is all about discussion ideas & getting feedback in order to reach a goal as a group. This requires preparation, reliability and a common understanding of the project, for which I stand.
