Meet the 2021-2023 Mentor

Industry/Area of Expertise: investment banking, investment management and fin-tech

Company and Role: Vice President, Fixed Income Rates Sales at Tradeweb Markets

Coming out of USC, I started my finance career on the buy side working for a large, LA–based investment management firm. I then transitioned to working at a hedge fund focusing on leveraged finance. My path then took me to the sell side where I worked at large, primary investment bank for several years in cross–asset, fixed income sales & trading. I am currently a VP of fixed income rates sales at Tradeweb Markets where I focus on institutional electronic trading and execution for buy–side investors such as real and fast money accounts as well as pension funds, corporate treasuries and mortgage banks. This will be my 3rd semester with the GEMS program and I have thoroughly enjoyed mentoring my previous students. One of them placed into Bank of America’s Debt Capital Markets internship program in NYC and shortly after secured a full time position on the same team. My other mentee received internship offers from both Ares Asset Management in LA as well as Credit Suisse. I am excited to continue sharing my career experience and knowledge of capital markets through GEMS with the next generation of finance Trojans. My goal is to help them avoid the mistakes I made and hopefully make their path to career success a smooth one.
