Nadine’s rise
in banking
and
giving back
to charity

Nadine left More House in 1996 after doing A-Levels in Economics, Maths and History and then read Law at King’s College London. We were delighted to see Nadine again when she moved back to London at the end of last year with her 2 young children and she is very much hoping that her daughter will be joining More House in the future and following in her footsteps.

Nadine left More House in 1996 after doing A-Levels in Economics, Maths and History and then read Law at King’s College London.  After receiving her LLB she then went on to complete a Masters in International Law.

After graduating she accepted an internship at BNP Paribas, initially working in debt origination and then moving into equity sales. The company were so impressed that they hired her permanently.  French investment firm Exane bought the equity business of BNP Paribas in 2004 and Nadine was one of the few people to be taken on board in senior equity sales.

Nadine then moved to Merrill Lynch as a VP to set up their Sovereign Wealth Fund Desk in 2007.

In 2009 Nadine left London and moved to Lebanon where her family are originally from. She was hired to build up the Institutional Sales Desk at Bank Audi in 2010.  Whilst in Lebanon Nadine was also Co – Chair of the fundraising committee for the “Amar Foundation”, an award winning charity set up by Baroness Nicholson which builds and improves the lives and livelihoods of some of the world’s poorest and most disadvantaged people.
