Hedge Fund Coaches, Events, and Resources

Most recently, I was a Vice President in the EMEA Structured Finance & Lending team (formerly Principal Funding and Investments) at Goldman Sachs. I left Goldman Sachs in 2024 to attend Harvard Business School. I have worked across multiple asset classes, including Credit, Equities, Rates and FX, and have experience with managing people and sub-businesses within the desk. I have deployed over $1bn of capital during my career, primarily into private and structured credit. These have all been in principal risk transactions involving the firm's capital. As part of my portfolio management responsibilities, I also frequently traded credit, equity, and interest rate derivatives. Throughout my career, I have been a successful hiring manager, intern sponsor, mentor, and advocate for many. I have built a sterling reputation over time through a strong trading track record and by taking an active interest in developing and training the people around me by providing support and mentorship.
