Tomáš Vrba

I have successfully graduated from the University of Cambridge with an MPhil in Economics in 2012, where I was able to study due to the generous support from The Bakala Foundation. That was my sixth year of studies in Great Britain, having originally taken my A-levels at Forest School in London, as part of a scholarship program for secondary school pupils organized jointly by HMC and Open Society Fund. I have since spent three years as a Stelios Scholar at the London School of Economics, and was awarded a First Class BSc in Economics. During my studies I undertook a number of internships in finance, including at Bain Capital, UBS Investment Bank and Pioneer Investments, and pursued a number of extra-curricular activities such as tutoring both fellow university students and primary school children. Upon my graduation from Cambridge, I have initially spent two years with the London Office of The Boston Consulting Group, and I am currently working for Mid Europa Partners, an investment firm, in London.
