Ferdinand’s Investment Banking Qualifications
Experience level: Analyst
Ferdinand has helped clients get into these companies:
The investment banking interview process - with all the networking, strategizing, and general preparation - can be a daunting process. I've been through this process many times, both from the applicant's perspective as well as the interviewer's perspective. As an undergraduate, I received offers to join multiple investment banks (e.g., bulge brackets / boutiques) and ultimately spent two years at J.P. Morgan in an industry coverage group. I'm looking forward to helping you as you think through IB as a career path. Feel free to reach out to chat regarding anything from interview preparation, firm selection, coverage vs. product groups, compensation, or even private equity! Excited to speak soon.

About Ferdinand
Hey! Nice to meet you. I'm a first-gen college student with immigrant parents who came to the U.S. in search of greater opportunity. At a young age, I was very involved with my family's restaurant business, which grew my passion for business more broadly. From there, I went to the University of Chicago where I majored in Economics (Phi Beta Kappa). Post-college, I pursued a career in investment banking with the goal of developing a strong technical skillset. In search of greater impact and responsibility, I joined Onex as a generalist private equity associate. After spending two years there, I realized I wanted to take the skillsets I developed and return to small business. I applied to business school and ultimately graduated from Harvard with my MBA. Post-MBA, I now run a long-term hold investment vehicle dedicated to investing and building businesses over a multi-decade time horizon (think private equity with a more operational twist). Thanks for taking the time to browse my profile!
Why do I coach?
I would not be where I am today without finding mentors and developing relationships with those who could offer me guidance and point me in the right direction. I am very fortunate to have had countless opportunities to "achieve greater," and I hope to give back / help others in some way.
