About Jeffrey
Exposure to different careers in traditional asset management (e.g. stocks and bonds) and alternative asset management (e.g. PE and private credit) can be hard to come across! I've trodden the path of product strategy, capital raising, and client management at multi-trillion dollar firms in both traditional and alternative assets. If you're looking to recruit for the industry, discuss networking techniques, or level up your career by pursuing your MBA, I would love to share my expertise!
