Break into Hedge Funds | Ex-UC Berkeley MFE Exec Director | 500+ Placements
I specialized in Early Career, Mid Career and Executive level recruitment, Finance Recruitment, Quantitative Finance Recruitment and Specialty Masters Admissions. Additionally I am an expert in International Student placement & coaching (CPT/OPT/H1B) and US Masters student placement & coaching. With 100% placement outcomes for internship and full time at graduation. I started my career in finance being a controller for start-up organizations. But I found my true passion was coaching through my many experiences in Higher Education. I began my Higher Education career at Stanford Graduate School Business in Leadership Development. I learned many techniques and business acumen through my experience in the classroom at Stanford GSB. In not so many words I have my MBA from Stanford with the amount of sessions I facilitated and supported during my 8 years running Executive Leadership programs. In the next phase of my career I found myself at UC Berkeley Haas Business school in the Master of Quantitative Finance Program, first in Admissions, then as the Director of Career Development and then as the Executive Director of the program. But again I found my true passion was coaching students and Alumni and celebrating their outcomes in getting a full time job at their dream firm and promotions within big banks, hedge funds and Fintechs! Now I have my own career coaching and career development firm, QuantMinds.com!
