Richard worked at UBS Financial Services, Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch before joining J.P. Morgan in 2018, drawn to the power and greatness of the firm.
A graduate of Cornell University, where he earned a B.A. in Economics, Richard holds an M.B.A with a concentration in Finance from NYU's Stern School of Business.
