I'm David Ruiz, an economist with a specialization in Private Finance from Sergio Arboleda University. I've recently completed my master's degree in Fintech, Blockchain, and Financial Markets at the University of Barcelona.

I have over four years of experience in the financial sector, having held various roles at the Colombian Stock Exchange in Research and Analysis, Financial Risk, and Business Development with Corporate and Public Issuers. Additionally, I was responsible for conducting economic analysis of the private equity industry at ColCapital.

Currently, I serve as a Graduate Student at Boyden, where I support the consulting team in matters related to private equity. After finishing my master's, I'm now seeking an Economic/Tokenomics Research position, Data Analyst, or Business Development role in Fintech, where I can further my knowledge and contribute to the Web3 space.
