SJ’s story is one of resilience and reinvention. After being laid off from a family office private equity role, he leaned into the WSO Academy, ramped up his networking, refined his story, and pivoted into a top consulting role at Alvarez & Marsal.
In this interview, SJ shares his non-traditional path from accounting at Brock University to Big 4 to private equity—and how he made his way back in during a tough market.
