About Viktoriia Tkachenko

I’m a dual-honors graduate from NC State University (USA) and SKEMA Business School (France), with a strong foundation in business administration and hands-on experience in portfolio valuation, financial modeling, and investment strategy analysis. I’ve built Excel models to value fixed-income portfolios, assessed risk using PV, duration, and convexity, and developed hedging strategies with interest rate caps, FX options, and swaps. In parallel, I used SAS to backtest equity strategies across decades, translating data into investment insights. Beyond finance, I bring experience in marketing and communications, having led initiatives like digital marketing campaigns, customer journey mapping, social media campaigns, and student engagement programs. I see creativity and analytical thinking not as opposites, but as powerful complements and I’ve applied both across diverse projects. My interests lie in financial markets, valuation, and risk management, and I’m actively seeking full-time opportunities in finance, consulting, or strategy roles. I enjoy solving complex problems and working with data to drive decisions, especially in fast-paced, global environments.From a young age, I’ve studied in seven countries - Ukraine, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, the UK, and the U.S- which taught me to adapt quickly and communicate across cultures. This lifelong exposure to international environments shaped my ability to learn fast, stay curious, and thrive in unfamiliar situations.I’m also the first in my family to study abroad and pursue a degree in the U.S. I believe deeply in the power of education to change lives, and one of my long-term goals is to contribute to reshaping the future of education in Ukraine, making it more accessible, global, and innovative.
