Luca’s journey from South Africa to breaking into M&A in London is a story of persistence and smart strategy. After studying accounting at Stellenbosch University, Luca moved to London to work as an auditor at BDO.
Despite being told that transitioning from audit to investment banking was nearly impossible, he leveraged WSO Academy to revamp his approach, scale his networking, and land an M&A analyst role at PCB Partners.
πŸ“ From working 40+ hour audit weeks to sending 500+ LinkedIn messages, Luca shares how he made the leapβ€”proving that with grit and the right support, even unconventional paths can lead to high finance.
