London, United Kingdom

Analyzed European American Depository Receipts on the NYSE. Now the investment bank is a part of the UBS Group. I worked at the US desk, however, reported to the head of global equities. Some Some examples of companies that were followed were Telefonica, Shell, Deutsche Bank (as well as other European banking institutions), ICI, and BP.In addition, during the summer of my junior year, I was fortunate enough to gain job experience experience working for Morgan Stanley in London. I worked in various departments which then further cultivated an understanding of the workings from bottom to top of these types of institutions. Two or three days was even spent on how communication between departments took place, this was obviously before internal e-mails were embraced.During this time and very much on the periphery, assisted the attempted LBO of the international division of Beatrice Foods. I saw how the various divisions were analyzed for their valuation versus the valuation of the division as a whole. This gave me a far better understanding of how LBO's were accomplished. The groups that were involved outside of private investors were Bank Indo-Suez and Wesray Capital. The division was eventually bought at the 25th hour by a group funded by Drexel Burnham Lambert with Michael Milken.
