Currently pursuing a Master’s in Finance and Strategy, he specializes in financial analysis, fixed income & debt markets, corporate finance, and financial modeling.

Harris has developed a robust profile across financial analysis, economic research, and internal control. At Hermès International, he strengthened internal control and compliance frameworks by contributing to financial audits, drafting detailed risk reports on supplier exposure, and automating cash flow models that improved decision-making efficiency.
