Best Career Options at the intersection of Wall Street and Silicon Valley ??

I'm a Freshman studying Bsc Applied Statistics and Analytics(Real analysis,Programming,Calculus,Economics,Statistics,Data Science).I was actually going to study accounting,finance and economics but because I wanted to future proof my career and have more options later on I choose a heavy quant field and I am loving it.

Even though I'm quant heavy , I cannot sit behind a computer running models 90% of the time (My EQ >> IQ).My long term goal is running a business at the intersection of finance and technology and becoming an investor .Say I like to read books like Competitive Strategy,King of Capital,Good to Great  >>>> Options,Futures; Machine learning etc.

I like to build connections,talk to people , analyze business ,face clients ,make DEALS ,be on ground running and I cannot sit behind a computer coding algos.

What are the best career options for me .

I also want to be in contact with Silicon Valley in day to day operations

And I'm an International student probably going to LBS,Oxford,Imperial,LSE for a MIM ,MFE or MFIN
