The Harris Group

In February 2025, we hosted the first-ever Harris Futures finance event, and it was a fantastic success! It was inspiring to see so many of you connecting and contributing to a network that has grown from 100 students to over 15,000 in just 18 months.

Louis Florentin, Managing Director at Lazard, and Gillian Piggot, Chartered Financial Planner Director at Advanta Wealth Management, shared their invaluable insights. They discussed what it takes to succeed in the finance industry, offering advice on what employers look for, how to stand out, and the importance of maintaining work-life balance while developing as a well-rounded individual.

We are also so grateful to asset management firm Nuveen for generously donating their beautiful venue for the evening- providing the perfect setting to bring together professionals and early-career alumni from across the finance sector.

If you're a former Harris student and haven't yet attended a Harris Futures event, be sure to keep an eye on our events page for upcoming opportunities to get involved.
