About me
Hi, I'm Ahfaaz.
I am a Debt Advisory Manager with experience across Debt Advisory, Leveraged Finance and Private Credit.
Prior to moving to the UK, I spent almost a decade working within the Indian finance industry across Investment Banking, Debt Advisory and Private Credit, advising businesses and assessing lending opportunities from both the advisory and lender perspectives.
Driven by a desire to broaden my international experience, I moved to London to pursue my studies at London Business School. During my time in the UK, I successfully navigated networking, internship recruitment and the highly competitive finance job market, securing an internship within Debt Advisory before progressing into a full-time role and ultimately management.
Having worked on both sides of the table, advising borrowers and assessing transactions as a lender, I bring a unique perspective on how debt transactions are evaluated, structured and executed.
I created this platform to help students and finance professionals accelerate their careers within Debt Advisory, Leveraged Finance, Private Credit and broader debt markets roles.
I am particularly passionate about helping professionals from emerging markets understand how to transition into the UK finance industry, build meaningful professional networks and position their experience effectively when seeking internships and permanent opportunities.
Areas I can help with:
• Breaking into Debt Advisory, Leveraged Finance and Private Credit
• Understanding debt-focused finance careers
• Technical interview preparation
• Debt markets and acquisition finance fundamentals
• Transitioning from Audit, Banking or other finance roles
• Moving from emerging markets into UK finance
• Leveraging postgraduate study to support career transitions
• Networking and building relationships within the industry
• Career progression from Analyst to Associate and Manager
Whether you're seeking to break into the industry, transition internationally or accelerate your career within finance, I aim to provide practical guidance based on real-world experience and lessons learnt throughout my own journey.
Please note that sessions focus on career development and industry education. I do not provide recruitment services, job guarantees or advice on live transactions.
