No doubt the people and also learning new things\nCoffee order: Black coffee with milk\nCocktail order: Bourbon\nFavourite book: Anything by Michael Lewis \nWhat was your first job?I took a summer job as a stock boy at a knife factory when I was 14 because I was motivated to buy a pair of sneakers I had my eye on. I made enough money to buy them but decided they cost too much for how hard I had worked and saved the money instead. What was your first role in finance?Ironically, the movie “Wall Street” was the first I knew of finance. I had planned to go into the United States Marine Corps and attended Officer Candidate School; however, last-minute I found myself at the JP Morgan recruitment booth at a college job fair. This led to my first role in the firm’s investment banking and M&A division. On my first day I showed up in a blue shirt and white collar with braces – looking ridiculous. I managed to survive the banter that followed and spent the first four years of my career there.When did you know you wanted to build a career in financial services?My parents were born in the Dominican Republic and I grew up in a Spanish-speaking neighbourhood. While the importance of education was instilled at an early age, very few in my community went to college and planning a professional future was foreign. I was good at maths and tried engineering and accounting and hated both. The dean of my school, who is still a friend of mine, steered me into finance. After earning my MBA, I took roles investing in both public and private, debt and equity. I started to gain confidence taking risks and went from managing investment portfolios to managing investment teams and platforms.  \n\nWhat’s one thing you love about the City of London?As a native New Yorker who has travelled to cities across the globe, London is the city I consider my second home. I love the diversity and energy and consider it a close cousin to New York.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd one thing you would change?Lack of affordability which makes it hard for young talent to plant their roots here. The bigger and more diverse pool of talent you can attract the better your outcomes will be.What’s been your most memorable job interview?It has to be my first interview that led to my first job in finance. It introduced me to a world I never thought possible. I had a better chance winning the lottery than sitting where I am today.And any business faux pas?At the start of my career, on a bustling trading floor in the ‘90s, we had catered lunches and one time it was ‘sushi day’. I’d never tried sushi before, so assumed the bright green “stuff” was guacamole and piled it on my plate. Unluckily it was pure wasabi – and I went blind for what felt like a minute even if it might have only been a few seconds! It was my welcome to Wall Street and my first encounter with imposter syndrome exposed.   \n\nWhat’s been your proudest moment?Being able to give back to the communities that helped me throughout my life. I was a Robert A. Toigo fellow at Dartmouth which enabled me to begin my leadership journey. When I became chair of the board of the organisation, that was one of the most humbling and incredible experiences for me. On a personal note, it’s been watching my two daughters grow into the people they are today.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
