Petran Bos

My name is Petran Bos and I am the President of the XXVIIIth board of the Financial Study association Rotterdam. After finishing high school, I chose to move to the beautiful city of Rotterdam and start my Bachelor’s in Economics and Business Economics.

My role as president

During my Bachelor’s, I discovered my interest in Finance and Consultancy. In my third year, I therefore decided to join FSR to learn more about the financial world. That year, I also did a part-time board year at my student association, where I gained valuable experience working in a team with the same drive and goals. This made me realise that I wanted to pursue a similar experience again, but this time combined with my passion for Finance and Consultancy. That's why I chose to do a board year at FSR.

“We help students and professionals stay informed and connected.”

As the President, my main priority will be to ensure that the board functions properly. In order to achieve this, I will create an environment in which transparent communication is key and where everybody is on the same page. On the other hand, I will advise my fellow board members on certain situations, and I will jump in when problems arise. In this way, I will be involved in the majority of our events. Moreover, I will learn how to act in difficult situations and make important decisions.

Besides the board, I am responsible for the long-term strategy of the FSR and the exploration of new opportunities. Especially now, in this fast-paced environment, it is important to look for new opportunities and be ahead of worldwide trends. Finally, I received the opportunity to represent the FSR on many different occasions, both in- and outside the university. I am looking forward to the challenge of being ultimately responsible for the largest independent study association of Erasmus University, counting over 4000 members.

If you have any further questions about a board year or the FSR in general, don’t hesitate to contact me or come by our office to grab a coffee with me or one of my fellow board members!
