My name is Charles Kintner, and I am an incoming analyst in William Blair's Industrials group in their Chicago office. Prior to interning with William Blair, I worked at a lower middle-market private equity firm focusing on industrial, consumer, and healthcare markets. I graduated from Loyola University of Chicago with a bachelor's degree in economics. My attending of a nontarget university provided numerous hurdles to surmount, but through perseverance, passion, and good fortune I was able to succeed; I want to help nontarget and nontraditional candidates do the same. I am happy to help at any stage: whether it is your first step of choosing banking as a career path to mock interviews and technical preparation.

Feel free to reach out to my email.

My name is Alec Feng and I am currently a Private Equity Associate at Marlin Equity Partners in Los Angeles, where I focus on investing in middle market software businesses. Prior to joining Marlin, I worked at William Blair as an Investment Banking Analyst for two years in the Technology group in Chicago. I am originally from Manhattan Beach, California, and I graduated from Michigan State in 2022 with a B.A. in Finance. I am happy to chat about investment banking & private equity recruiting, interviewing, and career paths in general.
