About Stefan der Sarkissian

I’m an Economics major with a Finance minor at Boston College, driven by a deep interest in financial markets, price discovery, and how information shapes decision-making. My academic focus on economics and finance is complemented by a hands-on understanding of markets developed outside the classroom. Since high school, I’ve built and scaled a sneaker reselling business, where success depends on reading supply and demand, managing risk, and building long-term relationships with buyers and suppliers. Operating in a fast-moving, opaque market taught me how trust, timing, and pricing intersect - lessons I’m excited to apply to a career in finance.I’m particularly drawn to roles that sit at the intersection of markets and people, where analytical rigor and relationship-building go hand in hand.
