Hello, meet Max O’Rourke!
Max graduated from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI with Magna Cum Laude honors in May, 2024. He studied Finance Honors and University Honors, culminating his studies by drafting an undergraduate research thesis explaining the 2023 regional banking crisis and how behavioral finance and artificial intelligence play into the banking industry. Max was the President of the WSU Financial Management Association, and he is a proud alumni member of the WSU Men’s Golf Team.
After graduation, Max utilized his free time to learn a global perspective by visiting 7 countries and 19 cities while in Western Europe for five weeks. Following graduation and his travel adventure, Max started his full-time career at Deloitte in the Risk and Financial Advisory practice where he works in implementation with a M&A financial technology team .
Max has career interests in the alternative investment and transactional finance sectors including, but not limited to, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, real estate, leveraged finance and private credit.
Max is one who is fully invested in the team’s success
Max would rather see the success of his team before the success of himself. He firmly believes that if the team does not succeed, individual accomplishments are worthless.
“There has never been a time that Max has not accepted responsibility for anything he has called his own. If he makes a mistake, he corrects it. If you need someone to handle a special project, Max jumps in and takes care of it without a question! In this day and age, of young people having a sense of entitlement, Max is a throw-back to a time when a young person works hard and makes their way through the ranks.”
—Coach Michael Horn, Wayne State University, 2023 Head Golf Coach
