This episode of Elevate Business Career Success features Olivier Babin, a venture capital investor at Softbank Vision Fund, one of the largest venture capital investing firms in the world. We discuss his accelerated career in finance and the keys to success. We also deep dive into what venture capital is (investing in start-ups) - what makes a good investor, what the day-to-day roles are, and the incredible amount of responsibility you can get in such a role. We also talk about recruiting into Wall Street from a non-target university (McGill), getting an internship (Goldman Sachs) and succeeding as an analyst in investment banking (Goldman Sachs). We then discuss things that students and young professionals can do during school and their careers to build the skills that will help them in the long run. A really insightful discussion.
