  • Experience leading RFP processes, client negotiations, and fee and legal negotiations, with a record of securing and retaining mandates in competitive environments.
  • Advanced financial modeling and P&L management skills, with the ability to conduct pricing analysis and risk-return assessments at both client and product levels.
