Focusing chiefly on the Brazilian Debt Crisis, investment banker Waldemar Jezler has been involved in the fixed income market since the 1980s. Jezler began his career by earning an MBA in General Management from Harvard Business School, where he served in the Finance Club and as President of the Ibero American Club for two years. Following his graduation from Harvard, Waldemar Jezler began working for Bank of America's Brazilian Representative Desk in Sao Paulo. As an investment banker, Jezler's responsibilities centered on debt trading and restructuring. Developing highly profitable transactions between Brazil and several Eastern European countries, Waldemar Jezler eventually became Vice President. Waldemar Jezler returned to the United States in 1988 to join First National Bank of Chicago, where he continued to create debt transactions for Brazil. Jezler's successful arrangements returned extremely significant profits, totaling in excess of $5 million in one short year. First National Bank granted him a sizable bonus for his unrivaled efforts, and Waldemar Jezler invested the money in his most advantageous venture yet—his own company. In 1989, Waldemar Jezler founded Libra Capital, LLC, where he still acts as President to this day. Jezler's years of specialized experience helped him guide Libra Capital in becoming a leading investment banking firm. Waldemar Jezler modeled Libra Capital after his own career trajectory and focused the company's efforts on the Brazilian fixed income market. Presently, Waldemar Jezler divides his responsibilities between serving as President of Libra Capital and as Co-Chair of the Banking and Capital Markets Committee with the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce. He also hosts a business blog on the Harvard Law School website and is an active member of the Harvard Business School Club of Brazil.
