Family Business
I don't expect people to be in the same situation as I am, but nevertheless, I am sure a lot of wise people could guide and give me advice about how I could best position myself. Let me quickly describe what I mean with that.
My grandparents founded a winery a long time ago in Italy, which today has made quite a name for itself (at least in Italy, but also starts to get international traction). I really like the kind of work in that business (development and sales aspect with potential clients), but my parents will probably be the first taking over on a FT basis. In the future, I would like to be implicated and contribute to the development of the winery, but am currently leaning towards a career in IB first. Therefore, I was wondering if there are any paths within IB (sector coverage, regions, specific Banks/Boutiques), that would better prepare myself in terms of knowledge, network and exposure towards the winery industry.
I am obviously based in Europe, and am flexible to work in different countries within that region (speak 4 EU languages fluently). Really curious to what you all have to say on this situation.
Maybe consumer coverage but at the end of the day, your coverage doesn’t matter all that much. Focus on getting to a good bank that will give you a good experience that you can leverage to PE or whatever you want to do before transitioning to the winery.
Thanks for your reply!
Can provide some insights but not in public. pm me if interested
Do consumer coverage (maybe it'll actually help some, but at the very least it will bring definite credibility for when you're running the ship) if you can swing it. If it's a big European company, maybe look at firms especially strong in the region (i.e. Rothschild), again for credibility/prestige/network for when you hold the reigns. My family isn't in the wine/consumer goods business, but also has some family stuff, and that's the route I'm taking
Helpful reply, thanks!
