BBA 4th Year

Mr. Gattuso is planning a career in investment banking following his graduation from Loyola University. He finds the business of raising money for companies a very exciting and rewarding field. He has explored a diverse academic program while pursuing a focus in business. His extensive coursework in the fields of finance and statistics has allowed him to develop the research and quantitative skills that will quickly enable him to become proficient at performing various financial analyses. He has also taken a wide range of courses in logic and philosophy that have helped him to improve his ability to think analytically. In addition, his decision to graduate one year early with a double major indicates his high level of motivation.

He has consistently sought work experiences during his academic career that has provided him with the opportunity to learn and work in professional settings. During his internship with the Springfield Ad Sheet, he worked closely with account executives and interacted extensively with clients. He assisted with drafting press releases, solicited and edited article submissions, and developed a marketing segmentation analysis for the company.

Mr. Gattuso thoroughly enjoys following the financial markets and looks forward to his career in finance.
