Nellie Lalanne

UConn MBA Student Ambassador, Stamford

Bio: I am a motivated risk analyst and project manager with over 15 years’ experience implementing financial and operational solutions for companies ranging from Fortune 500’s to startups. I am proud that I created a newly developed hedge fund (Dillon Read Capital Management), which helped UBS become better positioned to compete in the market place. Adept at leading groups, I managed a team which implemented the Equity Gold ETF trading process, adding significantly to UBS’ profitability. Also, I conducted research on the effectiveness of homeownership education, providing recommendations to Congress and regulatory housing agencies. Furthermore, I analyzed housing market trends while calculating and verifying enterprise values on loan portfolios.

Having just completed two Masters degrees, MBA in International Business/Finance and Masters in Analytics/Project Management, I am looking forward to making additional contributions to the financial world.
