What would you tell someone just starting out in the industry right now?  

Embrace new ideas and technology, pursue the CFA designation, take the time to fully understand the investment life-cycle, network non-stop, be more present in-person and less remote.

What are you most passionate about in your role at Aliter? 

Creating a community of highly talented, driven, and fantastic people who are loyal teammates and genuinely like each other while achieving lofty goals is my true passion as a Founder. Toasting another successful year at the annual Aliter holiday party with our team and spouses is the most rewarding and fulfilling day of the year.

Who or what inspires you in your job? 

I am inspired by great business leaders and entrepreneurs. Jamie Dimon, JPM CEO, is someone who I pay attention to regularly and apply his strategies and methods in my leadership role at Aliter…also anyone who starts a business from scratch and takes that leap of faith/risk is truly inspirational and drives me to have more, creativity, fun, and success in business and in life.
