Career Talk | The Diary Of A CEO - Special (62 Mins)

Afternoon All!


Welcome to the 13th edition of the Career Talk newsletter which we’ll be sending out most Fridays. Whilst the emails on Monday-Friday will (hopefully!) help students understand business models, these Career Talk newsletters will help students discover career paths.

This week we’re diving into Currency Trading - Asset Management. And I’ll be chatting to Ahmed Mahar (former Executive Director @ JPMorgan Asset Management, current Head of Finance & Operations @ The Diary Of A CEO) about;

  • how he got into his role at JPMorgan Asset Management post-uni,

  • what currency traders actually do (?!),

  • what advice he’d give students wanting to get into asset management/trading,

  • and, why he made the exit from finance to join Steve Bartlett’s team!


Now, I really enjoy all the Career Talk chats. But honestly, I really, really recommend giving this one a watch - even though it’s a little longer! Ahmed is so open about his story. And the advice he shares is absolute gold dust for anyone who’s at school, uni or recently graduated. Hope you enjoy it!
