CSN welcomed Mr. McAuley, founder and former Chief Investment Officer of North Sound Capital, as our guest speaker. A seasoned investor and former Managing Director at Tiger Management (“Tiger Cub”), Mr. McAuley shared valuable insights from his distinguished career in hedge fund leadership and global finance.

Drawing on decades of experience at some of Wall Street’s most respected firms, he offered students a rare inside view on the discipline, rigor, and judgment required to succeed at the highest levels of investment management.

He emphasized the pursuit of excellence in everything you do, highlighting how becoming 1% better each day compounds over time in both investing and personal growth. Mr. McAuley also spoke about the power of leverage and focusing on pathways that yield a greater return for the same risk.

His engaging discussion encouraged students to think critically about both professional achievement and fulfillment in their future careers.
