Our International Finance Graduate Nikolay Zvezdin Won the Credit Suisse HOLT Community Competition

Nikolay Zvezdin, our International Finance graduate with honors degree, won  an opportunity to have interviews with Credit Suisse Group and their affiliates, during the Credit Suisse HOLT Community Competition. The Credit Suisse HOLT Community Competition is organized by PROJECT FIREFLY, a merit-based platform sponsored by Credit Suisse, Zurich Insurance Group, and The Financial Times. 
 
The Credit Suisse HOLT Community Competition is a semi-annual competition with a different theme each time. This year’s topic was“Expansion into Overcapacity: Is it a winning strategy or value destructor?” where students had to analyse a global container shipping industry considering oil prices and other economic factors, and use a company as an example to present their ideas about the best way to improve financials and business strategy of that company. Nikolay Zvezdin used A.P. Moller-Maersk, the biggest global shipping company based in Denmark, for his pitch.
