Hedge Fund Coaches, Events, and Resources

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.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in finance and equity research, I bring a wealth of experience to help you navigate the competitive hedge fund industry. As an Equity Research Analyst at Decade Renewable Partners and a former Associate Director at UBS, I have honed my skills in equity valuation and portfolio management, providing insights that drive investment success. My journey began with a strong academic foundation, earning an MBA in Finance and International Business from the W. P. Carey School of Business and a BS in Economics from the United States Air Force Academy. Whether you're looking to break into hedge funds or advance your career, I'm here to guide you with tailored strategies and insights. Let's connect!

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 have 15 years of experience in the hedge fund industry, including as an analyst and portfolio manager at some of the biggest hedge funds and family offices in the world. Over time my coverage has included cyclicals (industrials and energy), technology, consumer, healthcare, and event-driven strategies. I have extensive experience in idea generation, thesis development, and writing investment memos. I am also an experienced portfolio and risk manager, and can explain and demonstrate modern portfolio management and factor analysis tools. I am a top analyst on buyside investment investment platform SumZero (https://www.sumzero.com/pro/members/profiles/9621) I can offer help in crafting investment pitches/memos, building models, and preparing for behavioral and technical interviews. I am familiar with the interview processes at the major Tiger Cubs and Multi-Manager platforms.
