Election post
I am standing for this position because I am both enthusiastic about the role and confident that my skills shall benefit the society. I am indeed keen to take active part in mind‑opening finance events such as the society’s annual conference.
Actively participating in finance organisations has been a serious endeavour for me over the past year, both during my internship last summer and now as a part‑time employee at Mirova, an investment fund within Natixis (€1trn AUM). My work there involves frequent meetings with marketing and communication experts to refine my department’s communication strategy, which I coordinate alongside my manager. They provide direct feedback on the formatting of the documents I produce—newsletters, strategy briefings for internal teams, and presentations for clients, partners, and directors—thereby honing precisely the marketing skills required for this committee position.
Interacting with my colleagues has also taught me to identify which events and communication strategies merit the greatest focus. For example, in promoting our research internally, we redirected our efforts away from newsletters people never read in favour of lunchtime fireside chats led by the researchers in the common room. Bringing that same attention not only to the quality of the content we communicate at the society but also to the judicious use of resources is how I believe I can make a meaningful contribution to the committee.
