BENJAMIN HARRIS

Harris Benjamin CV - 2023 - 6 month Internship

Summary

Dear Reader, I hold a Bachelor in Business Administration from EDHEC Business School, with a comprehensive international education through exchanges at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and UCLA in the U.S. Throughout my academic journey, I gained invaluable hands-on experience through internships that significantly contributed to my skillset and career development. I completed a four-month internship as a Corporate Business Development Intern at Virbac, where I honed financial and strategic competencies. Furthermore, I embarked on a six-month internship as an Equity Research Intern at Bank of Singapore. Here, I gained expertise in stock valuation, sector analysis, and the preparation of comprehensive equity reports. This experience fortified my financial acumen and analytical capabilities. Presently, I have taken on a role at Grant Thornton within the Transaction Advisory Services team. My primary responsibility involves crafting financial due diligence materials to facilitate the M&A process for both buyers and sellers. This role seamlessly aligns with my passion for finance and strategic advisory.
