Speaking at the BYCIG
At the Brooklyn Youth Charitable Investment Group, we invite professionals from across the finance industry to speak with our students in hour-long Zoom sessions held roughly twice a week. Each speaker shares their personal career journey and insights into how the financial world works, followed by a live Q&A with engaged and curious students. Our goal is to create a candid, educational space where young people can learn directly from those who’ve navigated the industry at a high level.
Past Speakers
Past speakers have included managing directors, portfolio managers, and senior analysts with decades of experience across investment banking, asset management, and private equity. Their diverse perspectives and candid insights have given students a practical, behind-the-scenes look at how the finance industry really works.
