As I recently shared, I just returned from an incredible week in Hong Kong and Singapore for the Asian Private Banker Summit. It was an honor to join some of the most forward thinking minds in the industry to discuss strategies and innovation. I wanted to share a few things that resonated with me.   My key takeaways: 1. Asia is a region of growth – the investment landscape is rapidly growing, offering new opportunities. 2. Nuveen’s platform is positioned for success – with our credit strategies in both public and private markets, we are aligned to meet the growing demand across the region. 3. Real estate is set to thrive – new opportunities are emerging as Asian markets reopen, and investors look to capitalize on this growth.   Looking forward to leveraging these insights as we continue to build relationships and drive growth in this dynamic region. 

🌟 Just wrapped up an insightful Capital Markets analysis! Diving into Australia, Japan, and Singapore's top companies provided eye-opening insights into how corporate actions—like dividends, share buybacks, and mergers—drive market performance and investor confidence. Working with a great team and using Eikon and FactSet to analyse equity markets helped us overcome data integration challenges to produce a comprehensive regional market analysis. Proud to expand my understanding of Asia Pacific’s diverse investment landscapes! A special thanks to Lurion De Mello (PhD, SFHEA) for guiding us throughout the learning process. Excited to see where this journey in finance takes me next. 🌏💼📊 #MacquarieUniversity #MCom #EquityResearch #CapitalMarkets #Equities #ExperientalLearning #MQUni #MasterofCommerce #Finance

I reached over 2k friends here, and figured to re-introduce myself! Let’s get to know each other! 🌍 Ethnically Indian, born in Spain, studied in the UK. 👩🏽💼 Joined and trained on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs, where I sharpened my sword for 8 great years. 🇬🇧🇸🇬 From the UK to Singapore, I managed Banking relationships, negotiating hundreds of millions in revenue. 🦄 A life-changing moment was when I quit Goldmans to disconnect and reassess my career. 💡 During my break, my unhealthy relationship with money came to light, leading to writing about how our money mindset impacts how we manage and grow our wealth - leveraging my industry knowledge. 💃🏽 Growing up, I wanted to be a lawyer and tennis player. 🤕 Painful failures include closing a 400+ women career development community, and not securing funding to build Asia's diversity recruitment solution for Finance. 💊 My drugs are dark chocolate and peanut butter. 💛 Other than that, I love to stay active (CrossFit), play with new tech, and spend quality time with loved ones. Thanks so much for sticking around. More to come! ✨ ~~~ 🤔 What's your story? ♻️ Reshare if any of this resonates with you. 🔔 Follow for practical money mindset insights. #MoneyMindset #PersonalFinance #FinancialWellness #FinancialLiteracy
