Justin Kwitchoff is on an internship tear.
With three internships completed, the finance major and USF junior is adding a fourth. This summer he heads to New York City as one of three growth equity summer analysts at Sixth Street.
In 2023, he was the first USF undergraduate placement at ORIX Corporation. He also is a year-round intern at Star Mountain Capital and interned at Franklin Street in 2021.
But what’s even more impressive is that he continues to play active roles in building recruitment pipelines with every firm where he has interned.
Helping his peers succeed has been at the heart of two main leadership roles he’s held at USF.
As president of Phi Chi Theta and vice president of the Investment Club at USF, he has spearheaded bringing more speakers, professional development opportunities and a sense of community to each organization’s growing membership base.
Through his outreach, eight firms visited USF for the first time, most notably Macquarie and KLH Capital. That outreach has produced recruitment success stories, with first-ever front-office USF undergraduate placements at BlackRock, RBC, and Scotiabank. More importantly, Kwitchoff’s efforts have helped USF achieve “target school” status at three leading financial institutions.
Kwitchoff is on a mission to inspire and mentor the next generation of USF students and is dedicated to passing down everything he’s learned through his professional experiences.
Seeing his peers succeed through collaboration will ensure there are many more recruitment and internship placement success stories.
