CAREER / FINANCE & ENERGY
Professional background: finance and energy
A 2026 MSc Finance — Corporate Finance graduate of EMLYON Business School, Kamran Mirzabayli currently works as a Financial Services Consultant at AdaptEdge Partners. His background combines energy engineering with financial training, with a particular interest in investment analysis, project finance and infrastructure.
Connecting engineering with financial analysis
His industrial experience adds an operational perspective to financial analysis. At BP, eiLink R&D and SOL, Kamran worked on operations, production forecasts and economic prioritisation. These activities inform his understanding of the assumptions behind an investment.
His background brings together two complementary perspectives: the operational understanding of assets and the analysis of financial information. His engineering roles, academic training and consulting assignments each contribute a distinct part of that perspective.
Industrial experience with concrete outcomes
At BP, from August 2013 to January 2021, his CV describes well-operations optimisation and the use of net present value and internal rate of return calculations to support investment decisions. It records approximately €100k in drilling cost and time savings.
After a Senior Petroleum Engineer role at SOL in 2022, he worked at eiLink R&D, seconded to BP, from September 2022 to September 2023. His responsibilities included economic prioritisation of interventions, production optimisation and risk assessment. His CV records well-intervention targets exceeded by 33%, as well as the supervision and mentoring of three engineers.
An EMLYON degree in 2026 and current finance experience
His 2023–2026 studies at EMLYON Business School led to an MSc Finance — Corporate Finance. The programme covered structured finance, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital and financial analysis, building on earlier petroleum engineering studies and an MBA.
The CFA Research Challenge France is an academic project, separate from his professional assignments. Representing EMLYON, he was a national Top 3 finalist in 2024. The work described in his CV includes revenue projections, cost and ratio analysis, and an investment summary.
Since January 2025, Kamran has worked at AdaptEdge Partners in Paris. His assignments cover financial structure analysis, development of a consolidation framework, preparation of consolidated financial statements and inter-entity reporting. He remains in this role.
Skills and analytical methods
Financial modelling, credit analysis and project evaluation are the financial focus of his profile. His CV lists DCF, LBO and WACC, alongside Excel/VBA, Refinitiv, Capital IQ, SAP and Python. He works in fluent English and professional French, with native Azerbaijani and Russian.
Applications of these methods include the economic prioritisation of interventions, NPV and IRR calculations to support decisions, and the preparation of consolidated reporting. These examples illustrate the connection between data, analytical methods and their operational context.
