Alumni Talks: From unibz to the Swiss Banking World with Margherita Tomasoni
Margherita Tomasoni attended the Bachelor in Economics and Management at unibz and graduated in 2021.
After completing her Bachelor's degree, she went on to pursue a Master's degree in Finance. Halfway through the programme, she began craving real-world experience, which led her to undertake an internship at Credit Suisse in Zurich in July 2022. She never expected that she would still be in Switzerland today, having made it her home.
Following the internship, she remained with the company for approximately four months, working as a CFO Analyst within the Business Management team. During this time, she witnessed one of the most challenging yet transformative moments in Swiss banking: the merger between Credit Suisse and UBS. It was a time of uncertainty and change, but ultimately it led to new opportunities and growth.
Margherita now works for UBS's Balance Sheet Strategy team, where she continues to develop her career in finance.
Programme:
- From university to the first job: taking the leap into the professional world
- Staying focused and resilient through times of change
- Building a life and career abroad: the expat experience in Switzerland
- Thriving as a woman in a male-dominated field.
Deadline online registration: 16/03/2026
Important notice for students:
Organising and planning an event requires time, effort and dedication from everyone involved, including coordinators, participants, speakers and suppliers. There is work behind every event that begins long before the event itself, involving financial, logistical and personnel resources.
For this reason, we ask you to respect the commitment of those organising these events. If you sign up for an event but are unable to attend for any reason, please inform us at least three days in advance. This will help to avoid inconvenience and disappointment for those preparing to present or run the event.
Additionally, for events that include catering or other supplies, the financial aspect must also be considered: food and materials are purchased based on the number of registrations. Last-minute cancellations do not always allow us to avoid waste.
Therefore, we ask that you register only if you are certain that you can attend. If your availability changes, please notify us promptly.
This will enable us to continue offering high-quality events and to respect the work of those who contribute to organising them.
Thank you for your cooperation!
