Bio
| About | Hello! I’m Laura Castellanos, on my way to earning an MBA in Investment Management from Concordia University, with a strong foundation in finance and international business, and I graduated Cum Laude to boot. My expertise lies in financial modeling, cash flow projections, and the ins and outs of structured finance. I’ve handled some pretty big deals, leading projects with large syndicated loans and achieving high approval rates. My mission is to bring my skills to the table to help make finance more inclusive and sustainable. Joining the SBC community has me thrilled—I’m ready to share ideas and offer my know-how to spark innovative financial solutions to address inequality and social justice. Let’s make a difference together! |

| Motivation for social impact creation | It resonates deeply with my background as a Colombian woman who has navigated the challenges of experiencing violence and working in a field with a low representation of women. Through all my working experiences, l gained a profound appreciation for the impact finance professionals from developing countries have in addressing global problems such as climate change, economic recovery post-pandemic and gender equality. I am drawn to share and learn from socially responsible businesspeople, seeing it as a rare opportunity to use my financial skills for greater social impact. I aim to contribute to sustainable solutions that reach underserved populations, combining my professional capabilities with my passion for social change. |
