As an equity research analyst I analysed global software companies to provide investors with actionable and profitable investment ideas. Instrumental in increasing company stock coverage by 130% despite a 60% reduction in team headcount, I also captained the team's primary research effort and undertook over 450 calls with CIOs, resellers and IT customers to enable timely quarterly stock calls and insightful thematic pieces.

In my final review I was judged to be at the top of my peer group and received a maximum score in areas including work ethic, creativity, quality, enthusiasm, analytical skills and overall.
