ABOUT MERI MADANYAN
As a finance professional pursuing a Master of Science in Finance at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management, I am driven by a passion for understanding the intricacies of financial markets and helping businesses make informed, impactful decisions. With a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the American University of Armenia, where I graduated with a 3.98 GPA and earned the Best Thesis Award, I am committed to excellence and continuous learning. Currently, as an Equity Analyst at the David S. Kidwell Funds Enterprise, I have the privilege of being a part of a team that manages $50 million portfolio, where I use my analytical skills to conduct asset class research and make strategic buy/sell recommendations. Presenting these strategies to seasoned industry professionals and faculty advisors not only challenges me but also inspires me to push the boundaries of my knowledge and abilities. At Ernst & Young, I oversaw statutory accounting services and provided comprehensive tax compliance for various client portfolios. Through a relentless focus on improving processes, I reduced tax review times by 40%, demonstrating my commitment to efficiency and value creation. I also take great pride in mentoring junior staff, as I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where everyone grows and succeeds together. My goal is to contribute to the financial industry by leveraging my skills in financial analysis, tax compliance, and portfolio management. I am constantly looking for new ways to challenge myself and make a positive impact. Fluent in Armenian, English, and Russian, I embrace diverse perspectives and thrive in dynamic, multicultural environments. I believe that continuous improvement, hard work, and a passion for finance can lead to exceptional results.
