Joe is passionate about harnessing the power of educational technologies to improve the education ecosystem and create new pathways for student success and mobility. After graduating from the University of St. Thomas with a B.A. in Economics, Joe began his career in investment banking at Hennepin Partners, an M&A advisory firm that serves entrepreneurs, private equity firms, and corporations. As a dual MBA-MPP candidate, Joe has concentrated on the intersection of education and technology at the Sanford School of Public Policy. At Fuqua, Joe is most excited to leverage his professional and policy background to launch an EdTech startup that captures student learning experiences beyond the capabilities of a traditional transcript or resume.
