Back to school

Recently, Renato, Abby and I returned to the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business for a “Meet the Firm” event, where we chatted about our work and aspirations to a group of graduating MBA students. We’re all Foster alumni, and remember attending many of these events during our time as students.

We hope to find some students who are interested in joining the 2A team as we continue to grow. The team building process is a careful journey, but returning to our roots at UW gives us the confidence that the people we’re talking to have great character and the excellent preparation afforded by the Foster experience.

Having graduated less than a year ago, the journey back to campus felt to me like a typical day from last year, albeit far more relaxing for me now than it was then. It was nice to run into friendly faculty and visit staff I worked with during my time in the MBA program.

Most exciting though, was to be able to share the experience of being part of the 2A team with people from this year’s graduating class. It’s great to see them interested in our work, asking excellent questions about our growth. The MBA program is an intense, stressful and rewarding process. I spent two years wondering what my next move would be, trying to land in a position where I could excel. I’m extremely happy I ended up as a member of the 2A team. I’ve learned a lot in my first five months, enjoy each work day, and look forward to continuing my growth as 2A expands into the future.
