Xavier TARDY
Private Equity Financial Analyst, Extendam
I joined Paris School of Business after a Middle Office Bank degree by taking the Corporate Finance specialization. I secured an internship opportunity as a Business Analyst at FundQuest Advisor. At Paris School of Business, I acquired the necessary theoretical knowledge for the profession that I now carry out. The academic team is top notch and I felt well and truly supported by the teaching staff.
I am now working as a Private Equity Financial Analyst at Extendam. Paris School of Business enabled me to obtain the required grasp of concepts and associated soft skills needed for the profession.
