Managing Director

“At FT Partners, we are able to focus our efforts on doing a better job at our core advisory functions. I've found that this allows us to create better analyses, run more effective processes and service our clients better. It allows me the ability to work on more deals with more responsibility, which is really the goal of all investment bankers. It’s so rewarding to be a part of this awesome growth story and pay it forward by teaching new classes of bankers and pass down my knowledge and experience.”

Associate

“What I value most at FT Partners is the flat culture that allows every banker to take ownership from day one. The autonomy we’re given fosters growth, accountability, and the ability to make a real impact on our clients and the FinTech ecosystem. I’m proud to be part of a team that is paving the way for more women in finance and inspiring the next generation of female leaders in the industry.”

Located near Embarcadero Station, FT Partners' San Francisco office is in the Financial District neighborhood. Steps away from our office is the iconic Ferry Building Marketplace, Salesforce’s rooftop 5.4 acre park and the Embarcadero Center’s shopping and restaurants. San Francisco is rich with food from around the world. Find some of the best Chinese food in nearby Chinatown, Italian food in North Beach, or venture to the water to have some fresh seafood and oysters. Every block is filled with more restaurants you could ask for to keep your stomach full. The weather is San Francisco is always just right. With no hot summers, cold winters, or heavy rainy seasons, it is the perfect place to be able to be outside year-round. Head to nearby Pacifica for some of the best surfing in California or venture North to Tahoe to ski in fresh powder.
