Murali, I understand your time is valuable so I'll keep this short. 1) Prior experience working with a senior investor at a private equity firm and investment group. 2) Lived in 3 continents so am able to build connections across multiple cultures and adjust to new surroundings. ###-###-#### /4.00 gpa and a motor that never settles for just "good enough". Would love to be on your team.
