Joe Fasula

I grew up working in my family's grocery and hardware business in Pennsylvania โ€” an experience that taught me how to think like a merchant and what truly drives retail success. I graduated Cum Laude from the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State, majoring in Finance with additional coursework in Accounting and MIS.

Today I'm a Corporate Analyst at JPMorganChase on an AI/ML team โ€” sitting at the intersection of financial technology and emerging innovation. Outside of work, you'll find me on the golf course, the slopes, in the gym, or exploring somewhere new.
