Meet Claudia, a Team Leader

Can you share more about your career journey at Bloomberg?

I heard about Bloomberg from a dear, late friend, Stephanie Santora. She raved about the company’s dynamic and collaborative environment. When I was on exchange in Switzerland during university, I participated in the Data, Analytics, and Sales Spring Insight Week to learn more about potential career opportunities at Bloomberg. Shortly thereafter, I was offered a summer internship, which turned into a full-time position in the Analytics department.

I first started out as a generalist in Fixed Income, developing my knowledge about the financial markets and our clients. I then joined the Fixed Income Advanced Specialist Team after taking a deep dive into fixed income workflows. When my previous team leader joined another department in the company, I decided to apply for his role — and he was immensely supportive and encouraging.

How have you been able to innovate and give back in your role?

What I really love about Bloomberg is that if you have an idea, people will listen — whether you’ve been at the company for one year or 10. When I was an advanced specialist in Analytics, I revamped our internal training material to include ESG content so that we would be better equipped to assist clients in this area. Then, as a team leader, I formalized an “ESG Taskforce” to help clients with more in-depth requests.

What is most exciting about the field you’re working in?

Environmental risks and their impact on sovereign debt is an area I find really intriguing. As governments aim to tackle these issues, they will need help from the financial industry. As investment professionals channel funds into climate mitigation, adaptation, and preservation, having access to quality data for risk valuations is crucial. As Bloomberg develops tools and solutions for these considerations, I’m excited to see how they will be used by our clients and the broader financial industry.

Where do you think you’ve added the most value?

I hope I’ve added value to the brilliant and incredibly hardworking team I have the privilege of managing! They inspire me every day, and I hope to provide them with the same recognition, empowerment and mentorship other leaders have given me during my time at Bloomberg.
