Economics and Finance Society: Vice-President of Client Relations

Hi everyone, my name is Aakash. I'm a first-year Maths with Econ student and am running to be your Vice President of Client Relations. If elected, I pledge to:

1. Co-ordinate events in collaboration with the leading diversity-driven firms, such as SEO London and 93% Club, to open up the playing field in terms of access to resources for members.

2. Maintain existing sponsorship relations and gain new sponsors from a mixture of different firms to ensure members are aware of the various career paths they can enter within the finance industry. Using my network and platform of financial institutions, I'll be able to provide our members with the most insightful events. Having previously reached out to high-net-worth clients during my time at Asquire Wealth Management, I'll be confident in convincing new firms for sponsorship or bringing in guest speakers.

3. Launch collaborations with the LSE BIG, Oxford and CUFIS. These could include, the traditional Christmas ball, a welcome boat party and networking events.

Through my experiences at various firms within finance as well as being a part-time cricket coach, I believe that I have gained the relevant soft skills and communication which are suitable for your Vice President of Client Relations. Combined with my personal network, I firmly believe that there is even more room for EFS to expand.

Vote Aakash!

Hey everyone,

I am Alex, a first year economics student, running for VP of client relations.

This year the EFS society has done a lot for me, from putting on great socials to providing me with a great mentor to achieve spring weeks. However, the efforts of the EFS to provide relevant speakers I felt were the most impactful and have lead me to campaign for VP of client relations. If elected I pledge to:

1.) Utilise my connections at Rothschild, UBS, and Citi to create stronger links with investment banking firms 

2.)Team up with finance societies at top universities, such as Warwick, to host large events with a large amount of guest speakers

3.) Host more frequent and larger networking events, in the form of coffee chats and evening drinks,  to establish closer and more personal links with the most prestigious firms

4.)  I would also like to take EFS down a new path and open it up into private equity. By utilising my links with North Edge, a £900 million PE firm, I hope to host events with this firm so members can learn more about private equity

Thank you,

Alex
