He brings valuable experience in interacting with both the management teams of early stage companies and large sophisticated investors from his prior roles in institutional equity sales.

Throughout his 17 years on Wall Street, the majority of Jaahred’s time was spent researching and selling equity holdings for companies in the Media & Technology, Healthcare, Financials, & Consumer/Retail sectors. Jaahred began his career with Hambrecht & Quist (H&Q), and in short order was co-managing one of the largest books of institutional equity business at the firm. When H&Q was bought by Chase, and subsequently merged with JPMorgan, he continued to be one of the top sales people on the institutional sales desk. He was then recruited by SunTrust Robinson Humphrey to help build their Technology and Healthcare businesses. Subsequently, he went on to assume increasingly senior roles with Oppenheimer Ladenberg Thalman, & First Albany Capital, where he focused more closely on work in private finance.

Jaahred earned a BA from Boston University.
