About Joseph

Hi, I’m Joseph (Joey) Astolfi. I grew up in Atlanta after my parents immigrated to the U.S. from Argentina. I earned my B.B.A. in Finance, Management Information Systems, and International Business from the University of Georgia (UGA). At UGA, I served as Head of the Investment Banking Training Program (the Corsair Society), where I mentored 32 students who secured job opportunities across New York, Chicago, Boston, Charlotte, and Atlanta. After graduating, I joined Moelis & Company as an Investment Banking Analyst, where I spent two years focusing on M&A and restructuring across Industrials, Business/Healthcare Services, and Energy. Following my time at Moelis, I joined American Securities as an Associate on the Investment Team and was promoted to Senior Associate after my second year. I am currently an MBA Candidate at Harvard Business School. Outside of school and work I enjoy the outdoors, sports, and travel!

Why do I coach?

I coach because mentorship has been pivotal to my success at every stage of my career. From breaking into investment banking and private equity to navigating the MBA admissions process, I’ve benefited immensely from the guidance of others. Coaching is my way of giving back—helping others overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and unlock opportunities that can shape their careers.
