Dana Williams

In my career thus far in financial services. I have had the opportunity to work for some of the top companies in the world that focus heavily on attention to detail, fast paced environment, being and independent leader, learning new material quickly, etc. I have had the opportunity to work for Kemper Corporation, North Trust Hedge Fund, and CIBC just to name a few. In my position I was able to research companies to make buy/sell/or Hold recommendations to senior management based off fundamental relative value analysis from a top-down approach on Investment grade and High Yield bonds. In addition, to my experience I was to build financial models for our private equity companies to come up with a valuation on a monthly/quarterly basis to understand the enterprise value to EBITDA values and pricing. My experience also led me to being able to move to the trading desk which allowed me to trade in fixed income, equityinvestments by supporting and promoting existing portfolios and strategies. I would have to say all these different areas allowed me a broad range of skills and education. My goal would have to be somewhere in the analytical or research areas, particularly financial modeling or research.
