Overview

Xavier is an adaptable, socially fluent Two-Way Player archetype with strong communication capacity, a collaborative leadership style, and a rapidly developing interest in finance. With a 3.7 GPA in Economics at Princeton and high-level competitive demands as a Division I wrestler, he demonstrates discipline, resilience, and an ability to manage heavy workload environments — traits that translate well into Wealth Management advisory culture. His experience at Privero Capital Partners introduced him to hedge fund strategy, risk analysis, and options-based investing language, while two summers at a legal firm developed client interaction maturity, professionalism, and service-oriented execution. During Legacy Bowl, Xavier excelled in interviews (95.3% • 96.2% • 89.4%), consistently demonstrating poise, strong vocal communication, and coachability.

Strengths

Strong interview performer — polished communicator with presence and emotional intelligence.
Economics foundation + exposure to hedge fund risk concepts & options frameworks.
Leadership experience across athletics, BSAC, and Eagle Scout — responsibility under pressure.
High work ethic and grit developed through Division I wrestling training demands.
Client-service exposure from legal and salon roles — people-facing maturity.
Adaptive team player capable of navigating diverse environments and groups.
Emerging investment interest with willingness to learn technical tools.

Areas for Development

Continue building modeling fluency and valuation mechanics (comp models, DCF structure).
Expand technical exposure beyond introductory investment language to applied execution.
Develop portfolio storytelling & client narrative framing for PWM discussions.

Projection

Round 2-3 projection with clear upside as a People-Forward WM prospect. Xavier’s interviews, leadership experience, and disciplined athletic profile make him a strong long-term candidate with relationship-based potential. With continued technical skill development and increased exposure to real portfolio work, he projects as a future relationship manager or advisory executor capable of owning client conversations over time.
