From Wales originally, Caelum (Cal) Davies first came to Finland as an exchange student from the University of Glasgow in 2016, before returning to the University of Helsinki to complete a Master's in Nordic and European Studies a year later. While at the University Caelum was active in student organisations, took part in the international student trainee programme, and was a research assistant. Since graduating, and after a short stint in the marketing world, he now works as a Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst at Nordea. When not making the most of his enthusiasm to blend quants and quals to produce intelligence outputs at the office, you'll probably find him sipping a good coffee, enjoying some comedy, or (most likely) relaxing in a public sauna. -
