Dr. Philip Vasan was our guest speaker at our 96th Mitsui Lunchtime Forum. He is a Managing director at Credit Suisse in the Investment Banking Division in New York City. He is also Head of Prime Services and a member of the Investment Banking Management Committee and Gllobal Equity Management Committee.

Dr. Vasan invited the audience to think of the event as a conversation and gave students perspective on the credit crisis. “This will pass. It always does, but the question is, what will replace it?” he said.

The former head of Global Foreign Exchange at CS First Boston noted Baruch’s growth as a solid brand through the college’s strong programs and student determination.
