Nick’s Hedge Fund Qualifications
Experience level: Vice President
10+ people coached for Hedge Fund
I'm an investor with 10 years of experience across hedge funds, growth equity and investment banking. I spent the last 8 years in the hedge fund world with roles at Citadel and Echo Street (~$15bn long short and long only manager) focusing on both public equities and private growth equity investments. I have spent time in both long-duration strategies with a focus on business quality and shorter-duration modelling-intensive strategies. I started my career at Goldman Sachs in Investment Banking. I graduated first class honors from Queen's University and held multiple internships throughout college in finance including at Goldman Sachs in my junior summer where I received a full time offer. My approach is personal. I can help candidates break into hedge funds, growth equity and investment banking roles including deep dives into stock ideas, thesis crafting and conviction, valuation and risk analysis and mock interviews. I can also help with crafting resumes, behavioral and technical preparation. I can also help with deep dives also can help candidates prepare for the day to day rigor of working in the hedge fund and investment banking industry. If you are looking for honest and candid feedback from someone with significant industry experience I'm happy to help.
