Eric Hanek

Vice President

BBA Alumni 07


Mr. Hanek is a senior at Loyola who will be completing his Bachelor of Business Administration with a double major in Finance and Economics in May of 2007. 

For the past two summers he has worked and received an internship with Iowa Grain Company at the CBOT.  He worked as a clerk/runner for Iowa Grain Company in the agriculture pits at the CME, then would intern in the MIS/IT department at the CBOT once trading closed.  This led to a full-time position as a night operations manager watching over the company’s electronic trading platforms and finalizing reports of the day’s trades.

His goals after graduation include working for a hedge fund or an investment firm as a trader.  However, after his recent corporate finance classes he has taken from Professors Schwartz and Todd, he has begun to turn to the investment banking side of finance.  He is currently on the fence on which path to take, either trading or corporate finance.  By joining the IB&FMC, he hopes to increase his financial acumen from the supplemental experiences in finance that the club offers and help diversify his financial background.  This will result in sound future experiences when he pursues his next internship or simply his next discussion in class with his peers about finance or business.
