Mark R. Girolamo, Barclays"Membership in FIASI has afforded me the opportunity to meet with my colleagues from all sides of the fixed income business and exchange ideas, learn about new innovations, and understand more about what’s going on outside of the specific area I follow day-to-day. It has been a valuable supplement to my career development." |
