Abstract

During the summer before my senior year, I had the opportunity to work as a research analyst in the finance department of TuaTeam, a financial and strategic consulting firm in Valencia, Spain. TuaTeam is a relatively new firm that serves its clients in a wide range of areas, from strategic restructuring and business model development to finding funding for future projects and identifying/evaluating potential investment opportunities. TuaTeam also works closely with communities around Spain to foster innovation and development among youth and professionals seeking to gain experience in new trends in technology and cultural enrichment. The company currently holds classes through a partnership with CEITúria in artificial intelligence, innovation, and robotics.

Being able to work on a variety of projects gave me a broad understanding of the clients and operations of their businesses. However, the most interesting work that I did went in-depth into specific areas of our clients’ needs. My role included supporting clients in a range of projects. At the beginning of the internship, our primary focus was on events and competitions hosted by the European Union. I had the responsibility of learning about the clients’ needs, completing the preliminary research on the events and their cultural significance, and presenting to the TuaTeam leadership or clients on how to execute their plans. Towards the end of the internship, I worked on a handful of other research projects for TuaTeam and our clients, including identifying AI applications to increase workplace efficiency, evaluating the competitive landscape, and developing guides and models for alternative investment projects.
