Questions
& Answers
Which past experiences prepared you best for your role at Park Madison?
Much of our work at Park Madison Partners is very client-service oriented. Prior to joining the firm, I spent six years at Rockefeller & Co. as a Portfolio & Customer Service Assistant. This experience helped shape my perspective on what it means to provide excellent client service, which I’ve continued to hone throughout my years at Park Madison.
How does Park Madison choose its clients?
Very carefully! The firm’s due diligence approach is extremely comprehensive, weighing not only traditional considerations such as team, track record, and market opportunity but also less quantifiable factors such as interpersonal dynamics and cultural fit. It really comes down to people and personalities, and it’s one of the big reasons we’ve been so successful over the years.
What was your first career aspiration as a child?
Astronomer! After Halley’s Comet appeared in 1986 I became obsessed with the solar system and wanted to learn everything I could about it.
