Asset management is one of the most competitive, and most misunderstood, corners of finance. What does it actually take to break in? What separates a strong intern from a forgettable one? And once you're in, how do careers actually evolve across investment management, product, and strategy? This session pulls back the curtain on all of it. Expect honest takes on recruiting, real talk on what senior leaders look for in early talent, and a window into the kinds of decisions that get made at the top of a global firm. Whether you're recruiting now, exploring the industry, or just trying to figure out where finance might fit into your future, you'll walk away with insights you can't get from a job description.

He's seen the industry from nearly every angle, and rarely shares that perspective in a setting this intimate.
