What is it like to work in ADB Working in ADB is a really great experience. I have colleagues from all over the world from

such a diverse range of backgrounds that I learn something new every day. The work

environment is very collegial, and gives ample opportunity to challenge yourself and work

on interesting projects.

Describe your journey in ADB as a Young Professional. I joined the private sector department and spent my first year working with the funds team

where I was focused on ADB investments into private equity funds that offer

both commercial returns and clear development impact. Currently I am working with

the financial institutions team where I focus on both debt and equity transactions with banks

and microfinance institutions. I am currently working on transactions in Georgia, Armenia,

Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and Pakistan.

“I am excited about

using my finance

background to make a

meaningful

developmental impact.”

What have you accomplished so far and what excites you

in your current role? I am excited about using my finance background to make a meaningful developmental

impact. For example, I have worked on transactions through which ADB's funding was lent

to small farmers and MSMEs. Visiting end beneficiaries of our funding and seeing first hand

the impact that ADB can have is very motivating.
