"I would say the most memorable part of my MT experience is being part of the start-up team for the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme (SFGS). I had little experience in this domain, but the senior management entrusted me to work on a wide range of tasks, including research studies, product development, policy drafting, up to the product launch and promotion to the public. Involving the end-to-end process and working with different stakeholders. This has been great training for my technical skills and leadership and a precious opportunity for my career development”
