WSO Speaker Series - Aug 21st 2025
With Michael Harris: Premiering August 21st at 7PM ET
We’re excited to continue the WSO Academy Speaker Series, a program bringing the most influential names in global finance directly to you. These intimate, one-hour sessions—exclusive to WSO Academy students—offer rare insights into career journeys, markets, and leadership at the highest levels.
Our next guest? Michael Harris — Vice Chairman and Global Head of Capital Markets at NYSE Group, where he leads global customer acquisition and oversees efforts to bring the world’s top companies to the largest and most liquid exchange. His work spans the entire private company ecosystem, connecting founders, CEOs, venture capital, private equity, market makers, and advisors.
Harris’s path is as unique as it is impactful: from senior capital markets roles at JPMorgan and UBS, to helping steer U.S. economic policy as Deputy CIO at the Treasury Department, where he played a pivotal role in the successful wind-down of TARP investments, to leading capital markets at Citadel Securities before taking on one of the most visible positions in global finance at the NYSE. Few have operated at the intersection of Wall Street, government, and markets with such breadth.
In this session, Harris will share lessons from his career at the center of capital markets—covering IPO trends, the evolving role of exchanges, navigating government and Wall Street, and what top firms look for when hiring the next generation of talent.
Don’t miss this chance to learn from someone who’s been at the epicenter of Wall Street power for the past 40 years. Not in WSO Academy yet? Now’s the time:
