Jay Kelly, Associate

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn and develop under Ben’s mentorship during my time as an Associate at Ascento. His expertise in investment banking is not just impressive but also immensely educational.

One of the most memorable aspects of working with Ben was his dedication to his team’s development. He always showed genuine care and was consistently willing to invest extra time to answer any questions that arose.

Furthermore, Ben provided me with unparalleled insight into the Tech M&A space. Under his mentorship, I had the opportunity to meaningfully engage with incredibly exciting clients in ways that I would not have been able to elsewhere. For anyone looking to learn more about the M&A space and get hands-on experience facilitating transactions, I couldn’t recommend Ben and Ascento more highly.

Veronica Venditti, Associate

I had the privilege to be a part of the program at Ascento, where I gained unparalleled hands-on experience in Tech M&A. Ascento provided me with direct exposure to live deals and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to transactions. Unlike many other programs, I wasn’t just shadowing. I was actively engaged in deal execution, financial modeling, and market analysis, which gave me a deep understanding of the M&A process that I couldn't have received elsewhere.

One of the most rewarding aspects was the level of responsibility and trust placed in me. Working closely with Ben, who has deep expertise in Tech M&A, provided great mentorship and insight. His guidance helped me develop a strong foundation that will undoubtedly support my success in my future roles.

For those seeking a truly immersive and educational experience that will prepare you for a career in investment banking, I can’t recommend this program enough!
