Hedge Fund Coaches, Events, and Resources

Over the course of my 18-year hedge fund career, I have had the opportunity to mentor and develop several high potential associates, analysts, and managers. This included detailed development work and training in fundamental analysis to performance coaching oriented toward decision making. Alongside these "hard skills," I helped my mentees navigate the complex and rapidly-evolving hedge fund landscape as they launched new ventures, negotiated salaries, and succeeded within firms with varying cultures. My experience spans single manager funds, multi-manager funds, and new launches, and I have worked with team mates at all experience levels: new college graduates, investment banking analysts, and private equity associates who were breaking into the industry to 20-year veterans what were leveling-up to managerial roles. I am proud to say that I maintain a close mentorship relationship with all of the investors who worked on my team, and career development is the most fulfilling dimension of my career. They have all gone on to be very successful in the industry as well! I look forward to coaching and mentoring for the rest of my career, and I hope to expand the impact that I have on the rising stars of the hedge fund industry.

I started my career in investment banking before transitioning to a fundamental Long/Short equity analyst role at Point72, where I spent years analyzing investments and refining my approach to stock picking. Along the way, I’ve mentored many aspiring investors—helping them navigate the industry, develop strong investment frameworks, and prepare for interviews. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to break into hedge funds or other competitive finance roles, and my goal is to provide practical, honest guidance to make that process more manageable. My approach is highly personalized, focusing on deep dives into stock ideas, thesis conviction, valuation frameworks, risk analysis, and mock interviews that prepare you for the toughest buy-side interviews. Each session is tailored to what you need most—whether that’s refining a stock pitch, improving your valuation approach, or sharpening your ability to defend an investment idea under pressure. I’ve worked with clients at different stages in their careers, from students looking for their first buy-side role to professionals seeking to transition into investing. Many of them have gone on to land interviews and offers at top hedge funds and asset management firms, and I take pride in helping them reach their goals. If you’re looking for clear, straightforward feedback from someone who has been in the industry, I’m happy to help. My sessions are designed to be practical and results-driven, focusing on the skills and insights that actually matter in investing. Let me know how I can help.

I’m an investment professional with 10+ years across hedge funds, private equity–style investing, and structured/alternative credit, currently at Kawa Capital and previously at Obra Capital, Hudson Structured Capital Management, and Canyon Partners. My background combines hands-on deal work, portfolio management, and investment due diligence with direct involvement in recruiting and mentoring analysts and associates trying to break into buy-side roles. I draw on an MSc in Finance & Private Equity from the London School of Economics and a BA in Economics & Mathematics from Cornell University to help candidates sharpen their technical skills, tell a coherent story, and target the right platforms and strategies for their profile. As a coach, I focus on practical, no-nonsense guidance on resumes, networking, and interview prep so you understand how investors actually think and can position yourself competitively in a crowded hedge fund and private equity recruiting market.

I help professionals break into hedge funds, quant research, and systematic trading—especially candidates coming from STEM or traditional finance backgrounds who need sharper positioning for buy-side roles. As a former Career Coach for Carnegie Mellon University MSCF, I coached 200+ candidates to land roles at major hedge funds and multi-manager platforms like Citadel, Point72, AQR, Squarepoint, Balyasny - as well as a number of other elite systematic and discretionary buy-side teams. My work focuses on turning strong technical or investing backgrounds into hedge-fund-ready narratives: clear signals, credible fit, and interview performance that matches how these teams actually hire. If you're ready to work together, we'll take a close look at your profile, identify skill gaps and opportunities, rebrand your narrative, and create a networking + application strategy to get you in the door.
