Ivan Zongo.

I graduated with a Master of Science in International Economics and Finance with the intent to start a professional career in the economics, finance, and banking sectors.

​

I am an enthusiastic Economist and Financial Analyst, driven by my passion for research and transforming complex data into compelling stories. I possess a keen eye for detail and a tireless determination to deliver excellence, consistently achieving remarkable results by providing insightful analyses that drive critical projects forward.

​

As a resourceful and inventive thinker, I pride myself on my ability to break down complex information and develop tailored solutions that maximize business performance. I am widely regarded as a talented communicator, skilled at collaborating effectively with key stakeholders and mentoring diverse teams to achieve shared objectives.

​

With a wealth of experience in finance, economics, banking, data science, analytics, and performance metrics tracking, I have become a trusted advisor to C-level executives and clients looking to excel in high-pressure environments.

​

I thrive in cross-functional settings and possess a broad range of capabilities, including stakeholder management, process improvement, project management, and strategic planning. As a leader, I have coached and mentored teams in critical areas such as data management, forecasting, problem-solving, statistics, and time management.

​

I hold an impressive academic record, including a Master of Science in International Economics and Finance (STEM) from Valparaiso University (12/2022), a Master's Degree in Banking and Finance, and a Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Management of Organizations and Companies.

​

I was honored to be awarded the prestigious 2019 Institute of International Education Fulbright Scholarship Award, and I spearheaded a groundbreaking research project at Valparaiso University, leveraging data science and data mining tools to uncover the underlying causes of school dropout in Burkina Faso. My dedication to research throughout my academic journey paid off big time - I joined the prestigious Athenaeum Honor Society of Valparaiso University! It's an incredible honor to be recognized for my hard work and passion for knowledge.

​

Thanks to my fluency in English, French, and Moore, and my basic knowledge of Turkish, I am adept at communicating with individuals from diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise with ease and diplomacy.

​

When I'm not busy conquering the financial world, I enjoy cycling, playing soccer,hiking and singing in choirs.
