I am a 21 year old Swiss student at the University of St. Gallen (HSG) with a professional background in IT and Sales. I currently hold both a Federal VET Diploma in Software Development and a Federal VB Diploma in Economics, Law and Finance.

I have been engaged in the financial markets for several years now. In 2020 I founded a private, Blockchain-enabled fund that invests in digital assets exposed to the evolvement of decentralized finance and asset management 3.0.

I like to think of myself as a very driven and passionate person embodying an entrepreneurial spirit and a deep empathy towards people. In a globalized world as of today, I enjoy connecting and exchanging ideas with people from all around the globe.

I get excited about macroeconomics, financial markets, data analytics, blockchain and psychology. Furthermore, I enjoy cycling and reflecting to remain level-headed.

To whom it may concern,

I got to know Lewin Hafner as a person with great interest in and passion for the financial markets. He shows a high intrinsic motivation to learn about financial market theory and to develop his own insights; and he has a hands-on approach to applying those insights in real life situations, like when developing and running trading strategies.

His insatiable curiosity and his never-ending desire to learn set him apart. Lewin impresses me with his ability to get into new topics very quickly; but also with his openness to get challenged constructively to further develop. His strong communication skills, both verbal and written, very well complement his analytical strengths and allow him to voice his views in a very convincing manner.

I can highly recommend Lewin as a candidate for an internship and wish him all the very best for his professional career and personal development!
