Background

About Berit Schrader

I am part of the EMEA Mergers & Acquisitions team at Bank of America. I have a strong interest in negotiation, communication, and financial modeling. At 17, I authored The Art of Valuation, a 480-page guide to corporate valuation. I am also passionate about AI and have built several machine learning models to analyze M&A returns. My successful track record in case competitions taught me the value of teamwork and collaboration. Our teams have won international competitions, such as the Global Case Competition at Harvard. As Head of the Case Class at the University of St. Gallen’s Consulting Club and advisor at ICC@M 2024, I have also trained top students in financial analysis and public speaking. I have earned five CFI® certifications (FMVA, FPWM, FTIP, CMSA, CBCA), the Financial & Valuation Modeling Certification from Wall Street Prep, and the Data Scientist Associate Certificate from DataCamp. Besides my interests in finance and communication, I love soccer and have a red belt in Taekwondo. I look forward to connecting with and learning from people across industries and disciplines.
