Meet Amani Hassan

Kickstarting a career in finance

 

 

Young talents of today are our specialists and leaders of tomorrow. Amani Hassan joined our Future Faerch Generation Programme in August 2023 after graduating with a master’s degree in finance and international business from Aarhus BSS. Amani turned to Faerch to combine learning with hands-on practical work. 

A journey of growth and opportunity  
In the Graduate Programme, Amani began in the Finance department focusing on treasury tasks. During the Programme, Amani’s role grew to include Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) tasks, showcasing how achieving ESG milestones could positively impact Faerch’s investment opportunities. She is now looking to gain an international experience in one of our global business units. 

Learning in a supportive environment
Reflecting on her time at Faerch, Amani believes that the experience has empowered her to effectively convey complex financial information during meetings, both in local and international contexts. 

“I believe it’s crucial to ask questions and embrace mistakes. It’s part of the learning experience. The supportive environment at Faerch creates a safe space where everyone is ready to guide and assist. The extensive opportunities for self and skill development within the company are a testament to the nurturing culture at Faerch. It is a culture that fosters growth and exploration.”
