Cornell Barnett

I am a young African American man born and raised in the west suburbs of Chicago. My passion is investment banking and my dream job is to be head of Mergers & Acquisitions for a major investment bank. I always wanted to have a career in finance but mainly Investment Banking. One of the main reasons is because nothing ever stays the same, its something new and exciting everyday in the world of finance. Another is the international aspect, with the big banks of todays industries being world wide it gives you the opportunity to explore other countries and learn what makes their economy work and grow. I believe in always being ahead of the game, thinking 2 steps ahead at all time, and preparing myself for every different kind of outcome possible, and when ever I find myself in trouble to stop, think, and execute. My dream is to do what I love and be the best it is at what I do, travel the world meeting new people and expanding my horizons, and I know Investment Banking will help me achieve this dream.
