About

Dear Hiring Manager,
Please consider my resume for the position you are hiring for.

My last work experience was as a registered Investment Advisor at a very small shop, where I was responsible for refreshing customer portfolios, drafting proposals, and contacting and explaining the proposals to clients. This was a great learning experience to have exposure to this side of the financial services and I am grateful for the opportunity that was provided to me, only see several clients move their accounts out of the firm in a short period of time and create a situation where I was last-in-first-out. I am now looking to leverage all of my extensive experience into a new role.

I worked at Polarium Energy Solutions in FP&A and Strategy. While my job was wide in scope, many of my responsibilities are similar to those posted on your company website. Prior to my time at Polarium, I worked at Panasonic in Program Management and Corporate Strategy roles, and before that, I spent 15 years at DeutscheBank Securities in various roles in Capital Markets within the organization's investment bank.

While at Polarium, a pre-IPO startup in the industrial energy storage space, my main functions were to provide financial analysis for the company’s P&L, lead the budget process and provide modeling for deal structure in support of sales activities. I was responsible for presenting and discussing the materials regularly with the company’s C-suite, or to customers or finance partners at other points. Another important function was to write the agenda, produce timely and accurate materials, and manage follow-ups on the weekly cross-function management meeting call.

While at Panasonic, my main responsibilities were to contribute to the writing and presentation of division-wide business and strategy plans to both U.S.-based and Japan-based management, and then ultimately contributing to the implementation of the plan. Other responsibilities are examining day-to-day issues with line managers in search of efficiency improvements, writing the agenda for and leading the group-wide weekly update calls, the creating and maintaining of dashboards and other summary reports for presentation to management, and providing due diligence and other materials for Panasonic’s M&A, strategic investments and partnerships.

In my time at DeutscheBank, I have gained 15 years of banking experience in Fixed Income, Futures and Options, Syndicate issuance, and other areas. I have managed people and process in a trading floor environment with exposure to many products and securities in the Capital Markets space, working with other banks, hedge funds, pension funds, the US Treasury & Federal Reserve, corporate customers and other entities.

My experience in FP&A, Strategic Planning, Program Management, banking, and investing will benefit your group in three key ways:

• 15 years’ experience in Financial Operations at a major investment bank as well as experience as a registered Investment Advisor
• FP&A and Strategic planning experience in mature and start-up sized organizations along with experience in operating and presenting to the C-level and other executives
• Strong history of delivering materials, and projects and managing teams using advanced levels of Excel and PowerPoint to all areas of the organization

These are just a few examples of my accomplishments and responsibilities at Makrod, Polarium, Panasonic, DeutscheBank. I hope that you will find that this brief view, in combination with the attached resume, describes a professional with the experience and skills to meet or exceed the requirements for the position you are hiring for.

Sincerely,
Ernest Volkmann
