Brandon’s Private Equity Qualifications

Experience level: Vice President

Welcome to my profile! I bring a unique perspective to private equity coaching as someone who successfully pivoted into finance from a non-traditional, non-finance background—so I understand firsthand what it takes to break into this industry off the typical path, and I can help you craft a recruiting strategy that plays to your strengths rather than against them. I hold an MBA from UCLA Anderson, where I received a full-tuition scholarship, and I've since built my career across investment banking and private equity at Moelis & Company and Aurora Capital Partners. Today, I help run the private investments team at a multi-billion-dollar family office, which gives me a vantage point most finance professionals never get—exposure to investment universe beyond the well-trodden buyout PE route, including direct deals, co-investments, VC/growth equity, fundraising and other non-traditional opportunities across the broader investing landscape. Whether you're trying to break in from an unconventional background or looking to explore paths beyond traditional buyout shops, I can help you think creatively about your options and chart a strategy that actually fits where you want to go. Let's connect and map out your path forward.
