Company: Citigroup
Job title: Director, Citi Global Markets
Career highlights:
I work in high yield and advise some of the largest asset managers in the world. The highlights in my career and life in general are those moments where I was able to facilitate positive change. I think the most important qualities to develop are the ability to listen, show courage, and stay prepared. I enjoy helping my clients achieve their financial goals, developing creative solutions, and mentoring junior colleagues and others outside the firm.
How has Fuqua prepared you for your career?
Fuqua was instrumental in providing me with the fundamental business principles as well as the opportunity to develop as a leader. Fuqua encourages each student to get involved and contribute. As a result, the students are given opportunities to shape their business school experience and to develop leadership qualities that contribute to their future career success.
How has the Fuqua alumni network helped you personally and professionally?
The Fuqua alumni network has been a great asset because I stay connected with former classmates in the same industry as well as have developed life- long friendships that extend beyond our professional aspirations.
What is an interesting fact about yourself that you would like to share?
I enjoy running and have completed two NYC marathons and several half marathons.
