The MSF Advantage Matabe Akoachere (MSF’20)
Associate, Federal Reserve Bank of New York “I had the unique opportunity to tackle real-word scenarios by applying academic learning to internships and course projects. I had direct interaction with firms through our global consulting project, which positioned me well for postgraduation employment. Identifying and remediating risk-related issues is a skill set that has proven to be worthy as an examiner at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.”

“Georgetown University and the MSF Program provided the resources and opportunities I needed to successfully achieve my long-envisioned career change; something I had been working toward for several years. I learned how to address complex challenges in markets all around the world in my new position through the MSF Program.”
“The deep financial knowledge and real-world experiences I gained in the MSF Program allowed for a seamless transition into investment banking upon graduation. That transition was made possible because of the individual support provided by the faculty, the program office, and career services team. Their expert advice and one-on-one advising was invaluable in helping me make decisions about my future.”
