Gabriella D - Summer Intern
"The Internship program at Berenberg has provided me with an invaluable opportunity to learn and grow in the first professional step of my career. From day one, I was warmly welcomed into a team that prioritised making my experience exceptional. My time in Specialist Sales has equipped me with a wealth of skills and knowledge, as I navigated the ups and downs of the stock market and the role Berenberg plays in client relationships.
From presenting my own stock pitches to attending sales briefings, I’ve gained diverse exposure to companies of all sectors and sizes, each experience deepened my understanding of the financial industry but also highlighted the importance of diversity, inclusion and the value of being a true team player at Berenberg."
