Umesh’s journey
Prior to joining Cambridge Judge, I worked in the advisory industry for 8 years with 6 years in core M&A advisory with the likes of KPMG and Grant Thornton.
Despite spending only 6 months in Cambridge due to COVID-19, I thoroughly enjoyed being part of Cambridge. The programme equipped me with the leading finance industry practices of the west and I was able to make the most of my journey by not only learning from the world-class and esteemed professors at Cambridge but also from the renowned industry experts attending lectures as guest speakers and from my class mates who were also from diverse backgrounds and from the some of the finest companies around the globe.
Post-MFin, I re-joined Grant Thornton in the M&A and Transaction Advisory team as the Manager primarily looking after M&A and capital market transactions. I now work in Dubai as a Director – Mergers and Acquisitions. I recommend the MFin to anyone who wants be one of the ‘best’ minds in the finance industry.
It is a once in a life time opportunity – the Cambridge MFin has something to offer to everyone, even if you have had a great deal of experience in the field of finance. By the end of your programme, you will not only have a degree but a great network, contacts, industry insights, friends and most importantly, memories.
