Helima Croft is a busy person.
She is RBC Capital Markets’ global head of commodity strategy, a regular CNBC contributor, and a mother of three.
She’s also a member of the Council of Foreign Relations and of the National Petroleum Council, which makes recommendations to the Secretary of Energy.
You may know Croft from her research on geopolitics and energy, which we often share.
But now you can get a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of a senior Wall Street strategist like Croft.
RBC compiled the pictures below and shared them with us. Here’s a lightly edited version.

Usually, I end up diving deeper into something that caught my attention or something that I think the market is under appreciating.
Here I am discussing our industry's latest trends with my awesome teammates, Christopher Louney and Michael Tran, as we outline this week's 'Commodity Comment' note.

Lately, these calls have been focused on the protracted oil supply outages in countries like Nigeria and also the ultimate implications of Brexit on commodity markets.
A number of our 'Fragile Five' countries (the five OPEC nations that we think are most at risk in the current low oil price environment) are experiencing significant duress. Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Venezuela and Algeria are at the highest risk in our view, and in any given day I may talk to clients about each of them.

I work in the office with my team to examine the markets, analyse and model important trends, and then create forecasts. Then we bring that analysis to the market through published research, and then work tirelessly to communicate it to our clients. Tomorrow will be a day full of that and I have a full slate of meetings scheduled, kicking off bright and early at 7am!
