Sherry Kuo

Christian is an incredibly intelligent individual. While at Citi, I have worked with Christian on several occasions and I am confident that his corporate finance expertise, strong organizational skills, and self-motivation will be a strong asset to any team. Christian often showcased an ability to learn quickly and deliver under tight timelines and as team staffer, he always went above and beyond his role to help others. His insights and process improvements were always valued by everyone on the team and he proved to be an excellent manager. I would highly recommend Christian for any role and believe he will excel in anything he pursues.

Christian is one of the most international and independent people I have ever known. I've worked together with Christian Jessen for many years and I have always been fascinated about how fast he adapts and learns new - even complex - things. He is truly one of the brightest minds I have come across.
