Hello Business Niners! This is your Peer Guide Kiyoshi with an axe-clusive update about the C-Suite Speaker Series that was recently held on November 3rd,2022.
I hope that you all are doing well both physically and mentally as we prepare for this upcoming Thanksgiving Break.
Mike Freno the Chairman and CEO of Barings, LLC who holds a B.A. from Furman University and an M.B.A. from Wake Forest University came to speak to the Belk College of Business about his journey and what his day to day position entails. His involvement entails two decades on the buy-side, focusing on both equity and debt investments.
Two of our Peer Guides: Matthew Morton and Kiyoshi Roberts had the opportunity on behalf of the students here at the Belk College of Business.
Two main takeaways from this event are: “To take risks early on in your career..” This is important because oftentimes we are hard on ourselves and do not realize how young we are and that we have so much time ahead of us so it is okay to take those big leaps of faith early on.
Another takeaway from the event was to: “Find out what you do not want to do as much as you find out what you want to do.” This is also important because it helps us figure out our purposes in life and helps us to avoid things that would not impact us in the right way. Life is a journey so we should enjoy every part of it.
