About Inigo
Iñigo completed his primary and secondary school at La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) and earned a Bachelor's Degree in International Studies with a Major in Japanese Studies from De La Salle University, Manila (DLSU-M).
He looks forward to establishing a career in the financial services industry or a related industry that nurtures his interest in numbers. He also sees himself possibly building a career in manufacturing if given the right opportunity. A Japanese company would be of special interest to him because he wishes to practice his Japanese, for which he has received an N5 Proficiency Level Certification from the Japanese Government through the Japan Educational Exchanges and Services (JEES) for passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) in July 2023.
In line with his intention to join the financial sector, he took on internships in PriceWaterhouseCoopers Business Services Philippines (PwC BSP) and Asia United Bank (AUB). These on-the-job trainings provided him the chance to experience first-hand the workings inside a financial institution.
