James Campanella
PM
I started my career on the NYSE in 1994. I became a member in 1998 and in 2001 was the WYETH Specialist at 29. I left the NYSE in 2007 because of the automation that was happening. From 2007-2011 I worked on the sell side at a few broker dealers. Since 2011 I've been a PM at a pod shop running my own portfolio consisting of all capital markets: SPACS, IPOS, Secondaries, Privates, PIPES, Warrants and Blocks. The past 4 years have been brutal for Capital Markets but there finally seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel.
