Sean McNally of Prairie Capital

SFA was very excited to welcome Sean McNally of Prairie Capital to speak to us last week. Mr. McNally is a partner at Prairie Capital, a private equity firm, and he spoke with the group first about his educational background as a finance major at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana and a graduate student at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. He then spoke about his beginnings in investment banking as an analyst and more generally about how most people move from analyst to associate and then upward in investment banking. SFA members seemed particularly interested the investment banking industry and how the roles change as a person moves up in the industry. 

We had a wonderful turnout for the event and look forward to seeing even more people at our Charles Schwab event!
