Employability and Graduate Opportunities Dmitry Pak Commodities and Energy Associate, Thomson Reuters It was during Dmitry Pak’s second Economics Masters at Exeter that one of his lecturers suggested Thomson Reuters as a possible company to work for. “ I came to Exeter from Russia in 2007, first to study a Diploma in Management and to learn academic English at INTO, and then to do a Masters in Financial Economics. I worked with them initially on an unpaid summer internship in their Exeter offices, before joining their Commodities and Energy desk in London, where I’m working now. I work with international financial institutions across Europe and Asia, who invest in commodities and energy. ”
