WHAT IS ONE HABIT THAT HAS HELPED YOU SUCCEED?
Not being content with the status quo is a habit that’s served me very well throughout my career, both in trading and now as an entrepreneur. Wall Street, particularly the mortgage market, is littered with hand-me-down processes that are “just the way things are done.” They’re usually pretty archaic and inefficient. I’ve always been interested in making things better, whether it’s something simple like how we do P&L on a trading desk, to building a new data, reporting and analytics infrastructure for the capital markets with dv01!
