On Saturday April 11th, The Foresight Project held its second virtual career panel focused on the cross-section of Finance and Information Technology (IT). James Gomez, Vice President of Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Audit at MUFG, provided an overview of financial technology and his role as an internal auditor. One of the key takeaways included how James approached networking and career development as he progressed through roles with JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and his current work environment at MUFG. We enjoyed an engaging and wide-ranging Q&A that covered undergraduate and graduate studies, professional goal-setting, and even personal finance.
