Seth is a native of Oak Park and graduated from DePaul University in Chicago with a Bachelor of Science in Finance and minor in Accountancy. His first role out of school was with the Illinois Housing Development Authority where he assisted in the structuring of single family and multifamily bond financings for the creation and preservation of affordable housing. At IHDA he was integral in feasibility analysis of bonds, interest rate stress testing on investment portfolios, and leading data collection for reporting financing activities to rating agencies. From there he moved to Los Angeles to work for a small start up specializing in crowdfunding for real estate development, performing many similar functions and activities as his previous role, just on a smaller scale, allowing him to design the systems and operations in place. He was responsible for managing a line of credit for financing loans, selling private notes to investors, and restructuring parts of the financing process in order to reduce cash drag on the business. He then gained experience in the healthcare industry, where he became successful in converting leads into clients at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic selling PCR testing to healthcare facilities in the southern United States. There he supported strategies for growth, designed pitches that visualized data for capturing new opportunities, and helped service data and software related issues in order to retain clientele. Seth has performed other various works in his career and would consider himself a generalist. As he enters the MSiA program at Northwestern, he is eager to drive his business analytics and sales acumen to the next level by learning how to better support convictions through data based approaches. He hopes to leverage the skill set to offer creative solutions in spaces and industries that demand real-world change. Seth is opportunistic to new concepts and industries and hopes his time at Northwestern can be a platform for making new devotions and relationships with his peers.
