Michael’s Capital Markets & Trading Qualifications
Experience level: Vice President
60+ people coached for Capital Markets & Trading
I’ve lived many lives—on Wall Street, on wrestling mats, on stages, and in the trenches of entrepreneurship—and each one sharpened my ability to sell, lead, and win under pressure. As a Financial Advisor, I built trust with retail clients and high-net-worth individuals, delivering tailored financial solutions. Later, I helped raise millions from institutional investors and family offices as a Vice President of Capital Raising. That wasn’t just sales—it was storytelling, psychology, and strategy at the highest level. I’ve negotiated business exits, consulted for HVAC firms, and spearheaded growth strategies that resulted in measurable revenue gains. But I’m not just a suit. I built a brand as an artist, assembled a creative team, marketed my music from zero to charting globally—all through grit, cold outreach, and smart positioning. That’s sales too—just in a different uniform. Before all that, I was a nationally ranked wrestler, competing at Duke and Blair Academy. Wrestling taught me discipline, resilience, and how to thrive when it’s one-on-one and the lights are on. Whether you’re prepping for a high-stakes interview, leveling up your career, or trying to sell yourself or your product with conviction—I bring real-world experience across finance, entrepreneurship, and personal branding. I know what it takes to win in a room, on a call, and in life—and I coach people to do just that. Now - I wear two hats at a Greenwich, CT start-up bank, covering Sales & Trading as well as Corporate Development, working directly with the executive team.
