Post-MBA, I plan to pursue an investor relations role focused on Latin American clients at a private equity firm. Leveraging my background of working directly with Latin American institutional investors in custodial banking services, I will pivot into a front office role of acquiring and servicing new clients for this investment class at a firm such as XXX or ZZZ. With the increasing popularity of private equity investments, I believe I could be a real asset to a private equity firm due to my fluency in Spanish, my cultural background, and my experience with local regulation in Latin America. These skills combined with a Goizueta MBA will enable me to capitalize on the opportunity to help PE firms grow and expand into the growing Latin American markets. However, I recognize that I need the technical finance skills that a Goizueta MBA could offer me in order to be successful at a PE firm. Additionally, I believe Goizueta would help me enhance my worldview through the global focus and the immersion opportunities to engage in projects globally.

Combining a Goizueta MBA with my ability to think quickly on my feet, take initiative, and lead projects will contribute to my success in the private equity space. Likewise, my interpersonal skills will be instrumental in growing client relationships in new and existing Latin American markets. I hope that I can continue to grow my leadership skills and enhance my Spanish language skills by continuing to work in Latin America. I know that a Goizueta MBA will provide me with the credentials I need in order to stand out amongst other business leaders seeking similar opportunities in Latin America.
