Alexia joins the team with enthusiasm for contributing to the transaction execution of LGB’s proprietary Medium Term Notes.
She says:
“What excited me to join LGB & Co was meeting the entire team and seeing how they answered all my questions with ease and openness. They encourage fresh thinking and show a continual commitment to learning and improvement. There is also a strong commitment to high-quality work and I am genuinely excited to evolve within such an environment.”
