Ryan Surace Email & Phone Number

I am a recent graduate of the University of Sydney Business School. Having completed a double major in Finance and Economics, I'm passionate about uncovering new or hidden methods to help people improve their financial security, accumulate wealth and ultimately obtain a higher standard of living, amid constantly evolving economic conditions. I'm fascinated by the concept of design thinking and how it can lead to disruptive and transformative innovations when integrated into company culture. I believe creating an environment conducive to free, critical thinking and consumer-centric analysis are essential in bringing to life the most exciting and innovative ideas.During my time as a university student, I committed extensive time and effort to maintaining a high level of academic achievement. As a result of these efforts and my attitude of "leaving no stone unturned", I achieved my goal of obtaining a high distinction WAM for my bachelors degree, was awarded the University of Sydney Academic Merit Prize, and achieved entry into the Dalyell Scholars Program and the Beta Gamma Sigma international business honour society. In the 24 units I completed for my degree, I achieved 15 high distinctions and 8 distinctions. My goal is to display the same diligence, integrity and desire for excellence throughout my career.Over the course of my studies, I was a team player, and worked collaboratively with my peers on a range of practical projects, particularly in the Dalyell Scholar units I completed - Innovation in Organisations and Unravelling Complex Problems. These invaluable opportunities, alongside my years of experience in hospitality, have allowed me to develop strong interpersonal and oral and written communication skills, and the ability to apply them in a range of contexts.In my free time, I enjoy volunteering my time to offer help and advice to university students, playing football (soccer), gardening, watching early-2000s fantasy movies, and watching sport (football, boxing, MMA, and sometimes cricket).Feel free to connect with me to discuss opportunities and to network.
