Matthew Brust

Stamford,CT

Summary

As a former successful professional basketball player, I was able to seamlessly transition into the field of finance and equity brokerage. I have been able to leverage skills learned under my Hall of Fame coach, Lou Carnesecca, such as strategic thinking, adaptability, discipline, resilience, and a strong focus on team and apply them to my finance career. I have a deep understanding of performance metrics, decision making under pressure, and the ability to thrive in high-stakes environments. Combining my experience in competitive athletics with my financial acumen, I bring a unique perspective to the table– one that values dedication and the pursuit of excellence in all endeavors. My career on the basketball court has taught me to approach challenges with perseverance and agility, allowing me to pivot into hedge fund management where I can apply these traits to identify promising investment opportunities and drive value creation.
