Work Experience
I launched Mergers & Inquisitions in November 2007 after realizing that the web lacked good resources on investment banking and the financial services industry.
There were plenty of sites discussing the stock market and deal-making, but there was nothing on how to break in or what the lifestyle was like.
My motivation for the site was my own story: coming from an engineering background, I successfully broke into investment banking and worked in a Mergers & Acquisitions group at a major investment bank (hence my inspiration for the title).
In a former life, I worked at startups, large companies and nonprofits in both the US and Asia. Some might call this a random career path, but it has given me insight into what you need to break in from a variety of backgrounds.
I’ve lived on both the East and West Coasts of the US, as well as in Taiwan and Japan before.
I now own and operate my own businesses, including this site.
In addition to the free content and nearly over 100 articles on this site, I offer resume editing and mock interviews to prospective bankers.
Education
I attended a well-known 4-year university (yes, it was a “target” school).
Skills, Activities & Interests
My hobbies include M&A, sailing, modeling, squash and aggressive spending working out, swimming, traveling and aggressive spending (I admit it).
