Leonilde is currently working at Morgan Stanley in London, focusing on M&A and private equity-related transactions, where she is developing strong technical and analytical skills in complex international deals.
She studied at HEC Paris and Sciences Po, after completing a preparatory class in France. She also gained experience at J.P. Morgan and The Carlyle Group, where she worked on transactions in media and technology. These opportunities confirmed her passion for investment and long-term value creation.
Her professional goal is to build a career in private equity, with a strong interest in technology, consumer goods, and healthcare, and to contribute to projects that combine performance with positive impact.
Through this mentorship program, she hopes to receive guidance on navigating a male-dominated industry, developing leadership skills, and making thoughtful career choices. She is also eager to connect with both mentors and peers to create a community of mutual support among young women from all backgrounds.
