INTRO POST: HAAS MBA '22 | US NAVY VET

Hello!

I am currently getting my MBA from UC Berkeley Haas.  Before my MBA I spent 6 years as an officer in the US Navy and 2 years working in finance. I am exploring a dual search with my good friend and fellow former Navy officer Liam Byrne, who is graduating from Columbia Business School this spring. We are eager to join the community and connect with searchers and investors. 

Thanks!
Conor
