About 6 months ago I submitted my final application to what I thought would be a leadership development program that would equip me with the skills to address professionally my next career steps. Little did I know that Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) would give me a new network of peers and professionals, an inspiring coach (Bridget McCurtis) that’s on my tail about my professional development, dreams and career steps, and most importantly the tools to grow professionally. You get out of a program what you put into it, and MLT is the quintessence of that idea.
For the past couple of weeks I have been working with Francisco Guzman, Stanford University, and Sebastian Sinisterra, Emory University, two peers from the MLT Program on an investment banking case study competition for Credit Suisse. The idea is to propose a plausible merger for a top industry pharmaceutical, Merck & Co. How you do envision it, what you pitch and in what respects, are all great measures of how effective your proposal turns out.
One very rewarding graph we’ve included in our presentation derives from the ideas of valuation, cost-cutting and synergic efficiencies. See below.
More to come on our progress through this competition in November!
