Hello and welcome.

I'm Patrick Curtis, your host and Chief Monkey, and this is the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

Join me as I talk to some of the community's most successful and inspirational members

to gain valuable insight into different career paths and life in general.

Let's get to it.

In this episode, Hans shares his whining path from college to IB in the Netherlands and eventually

Egypt. Listen to hear how he valued international exposure and how he was able to land a position

with the private arm of the World Bank before heading

off to tuck for his MBA. Enjoy.

All right, Hans, welcome to the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

Thank you for having me. How are you?

Great. So it would be awesome if you could just give the listeners a short

summary of your bio. Yeah, yeah, starting at, I'll skip all the irrelevant things, the high school

and all that stuff and growing up childhood. I went to undergrad at UC Roosevelt, a very

international program, a middle birth close to the Belgian border south of the Netherlands.

And 50% of the people are international, so you can do a lot, get foreign credits, get it incorporated.

I went to London, LLC, went to Lyon, France, I went to UCLA, Los Angeles, got all those credits

in the degree, then went to grad school in Utrecht, got a master's in law and economics, supervision

and regulation of markets.

And ended up doing some grad internships, international technology and trade associates

in Washington, D.C., a consulting firm, oil and gas market consulting, from Longschold Bier's, a wealth management firm in Hilbesum, the Netherlands.

Then did some trade politics, a brief stint at the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Washington, D.C.
