Reflecting on My Experience at SBI Banca de Inversión

Maria Hernandez, COL ’27, Woodstock, GA

I recently completed an incredible experience as an Investment Banking Summer Analyst at SBI Banca de Inversión in Medellín, Colombia. This opportunity was a significant milestone in my career, allowing me to immerse myself in the fast-paced world of investment banking and contribute to a talented and dynamic team.

During my time at SBI, I worked closely with the team on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions across Latin America (LatAm). I had the chance to delve into the complexities of the market, tackle the unique challenges faced by companies in the region, and play a role in driving successful outcomes for our clients. Engaging with such high-impact deals in a vibrant and evolving market like LatAm was a truly rewarding experience.

This journey not only honed my financial and analytical skills but also provided me with a deep understanding of the LatAm market landscape. The challenges I faced and the knowledge I gained have been invaluable, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to the success of our clients and the broader region.
