About Bhavya Sharma

I’m a first-year MBA candidate at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, with a background in building and scaling technology platforms at global financial institutions.Prior to Darden, I worked at Morgan Stanley and Citi, where I partnered closely with trading desks and business stakeholders to design systems, modernize infrastructure, and solve complex, high-stakes problems at scale. That experience gave me a strong foundation in structured problem-solving, data-driven decision-making, and navigating ambiguity in fast-moving environments.At Darden, I’m deepening my understanding of strategy, finance, and leadership, and exploring how organizations make critical decisions, whether that’s launching new products, allocating capital, or driving large-scale transformation.I’m particularly interested in roles where I can sit close to decision-makers, work on intellectually challenging problems, and create long-term impact at the intersection of business and technology.Always happy to connect with people working on interesting problems across industries.
