Moving to the front office area, Emil took a leading role in Product & Business Development and Client Relationship. During this time, Emil was nominated to attend the Wharton School of Business for future leaders, completing a 3-year program that provided a foundation to what his experience had afforded, giving Emil the voice to take on a more advisory role.
