• Solid experience with Alternative Investments – maybe as a controller, analyst or operations officer from banks, asset managers, pension fund or consulting firms
• Understanding the characteristics of different asset types within private markets such as private equity, private debt, hedge funds and real estate, but also investments in different structures such as direct holdings, fund structures or FoF
