Agustin Valecillos, Founder and CEO
MSc Mathematics & Finance, Imperial College London, UK

"I was born in Italy 26 years ago. My dad used to work for the government and my mum was a translator, so none of them ever gave be any business insight or edge whatsoever. So until I graduated from high school I had no idea what I wanted to do in life, nor was I getting any outstanding grades.

Until I finished university I have never had a single interview nor had I had a full-time job...yet I wanted to make it into investment banking. To make things worse, it was 2002, just after the dot.com boom when banks like Credit Suisse were firing thousands of people.
I spent hours, weeks and months reading EVERY single webpage, forum and book on how to land a job in investment banking. I then attended dozens of interviews and made sure I got all the feedback I possibly could, I learnt from every SINGLE mistake and eventually achieved a close to 100% success rate on every interview.

I am now working in the front office for a very successful division in a bulge bracket bank. I absolutely love what I do and this helps me be very successful at it."

Dan is currently a Vice President within a Tier 1 Investment Bank, focussing on Commodity/FX Exotic Derivatives Sales & Structuring.
