Francesco Allamandi, Director of Global Corporate & Investment Banking at the Bank of America shares insights about career growth and being part of a global team.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
The aspect of my job that I enjoy the most is the opportunity to witness important and defining strategic decisions made by our clients, such as an IPO or a merger. Being able to contribute to the process of supporting and leading to these decisions is particularly rewarding. I enjoy working every day in a culture which encourages the sharing of knowledge and experience, which leads to valuable opportunities to constantly develop my professional profile.

How does the bank support your development?
I have benefitted from the Bank’s development efforts in numerous ways including the formal training program when I first started, the monthly “Lunch & Learn” sessions and soaking up the wealth of information that is available through the various Bank of America Merrill Lynch portals. I would say that the most important support to my professional development has come from my time spent learning from the numerous VPs, Directors, and MDs I work with, all of whom have taken an interest in my development throughout the years.
