I think working on large movies with Pixar and on his own independent films mixed with investment banking is pretty varied.

Up was released in 2009 and the Incredibles in 2004. Should probs do an employment check before hiring someone, Techstars. Then again, maybe this highlights the kind of shameless self promotion needed to make it as a finance DB in tech.

Doubt he would have done much work on The Incredibles or Up…

And I wouldn’t call being an investment banker at Morgan Stanley or energy investor at Warburg a “varied professional background”…

Most will go away but my gut says this one still has legs.
