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.
