Economics and Finance Society: Vice President of Business

I am passionate about economics and finance and believe in the importance of fostering a strong business community within our society. As Vice President of Business, I am committed to promoting collaboration and innovation among our members. I will work tirelessly to ensure that our society provides valuable resources and opportunities for professional development. I am excited about the opportunity to serve as Vice President of Business and to contribute to the continued success of our society.

I’m running for Vice President of the Business Division, aiming to build on my experience as your first-year rep. Over the past year, I've focused on connecting us with top consulting firms, bringing real-world insights and opportunities right to our doorstep. This initiative has been about more than just networking; it's been about enriching our understanding of the finance and business landscape through practical exposure.

As Vice President, my goal is to dial up the relevance and impact of our activities. Think more hands-on workshops, direct interactions with industry insiders, and events that cut through the noise to deliver what you actually need to know and do to get ahead in the business world. My plan is to make our society the go-to place for anyone looking to step into the finance or consulting sectors with confidence.

I've seen first-hand what works and what doesn't, and I'm keen to apply these insights to serve you better. By voting for me, you're backing a practical, no-nonsense approach to our society's growth—one that prioritizes useful skills, meaningful connections, and real opportunities over fluff.

Hello!

My name is Andy Liu, an Economics student, running to be the Vice President of Business at EFS.

Given the business network at UCL, I landed a role as a FYR at the UCL Consulting Society, where I focused on creating interactive content to better resonate with our audience. This experience provided me with a solid understanding of the consulting industry and highlighted the demand of many students to enter this field, despite often lacking the necessary insights and connections. Later, I interned as a strategic advisor at Thymia, where I focused on proposing an expansion plan for a med-tech startup. This role offered me a substantial exposure to the modern challenges and financial needs of start-ups.

This year, my main agenda to include:

• Expansion: To branch out the business division to include venture capital, private equity, and consulting.

• Partnership: Establishing partnerships with leading consulting firms to maximize the society’s exposure in consulting and continue the society’s successful relationship with BCG.

• Event Organization: Planning and hosting business-related events, such as Unlock Consulting Workshop and Entrepreneurship Networking Panel, to satisfy student demand for learning about careers in business-oriented fields.

I believe that I am an ideal candidate to lead the Business Division ahead of EFS' 70th anniversary. I will use my diverse experience to create a positive impact and maintaining our strong position as a premier career society at UCL.
