    I worked with a team of Corporate and Investment Bankers to solution corporate clients on their banking, funding, and treasury and trade requirements. I worked to solution mainly Global Corporate clients, but most recently had the opportunity to work with Large Local Corporates, Mid-Corporates and Municipalities. Through this experience, I have developed a specialised set of skills which include financial analysis, financial modeling, research and information management, risk management and client engagement. I have developed these skills through my involvement in a number of funding proposals, with amounts ranging from R150 million to R3 billion. I have also honed my communication, planning and organisational skills through my involvement in developing transactional banking pitches for corporate clients.
