I’m a Specialist in the M&A and Divestitures capability team at Bain & Co. While I understand the full M&A value chain, my expertise lies in Corporate Due Diligence and M&A Strategy and Screening.To share a quick snapshot of what I do, I manage knowledge by capturing and organizing insights from M&A projects, ensuring our teams have the best information for client work. I support M&A proposals by leveraging Bain’s knowledge repository, contribute to IP development for case teams, and analyze data to assist global leadership in strategic decisions. I lead a team of Associates on one of our major commercial processes, driving efficient operations and results. Additionally, I recently spearhead an automation initiative and reduced time spent on one of our processes from 50 hours to 9 hours by using tools like Power Automate and Python.Coming from a marketing background, I’m on a journey to deepen my knowledge of corporate finance. Outside of work, I’m a curious person always excited to learn new things. As an aspiring polyglot, I’m currently learning Spanish and have recently picked up Indian Sign Language. Yoga and reading keep me grounded, and I love nothing more than a relaxing beach vacation.If you want to chat about M&A or anything beyond, would love to connect!
