Sara Grillo is a manager with hedge fund advisor Diamond Oak Capital Advisors and the topic of a recent Bloomberg article. What about Grillo intrigued editors enough to profile her? Without having spoken to anyone over there an educated guess would have to be her ability to overcome obstacles and in doing so, set examples for females trying to break into a male-dominated field. Obstacles such as:
1) Unemployment
Work in a bar. That was a friend’s suggestion for Harvard graduate Sara Grillo after she was laid off from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in 2008. Two years later, the hedge-fund analyst is campaigning to get more women into top financial jobs. Grillo, 32, who co-manages hedge fund advisor Diamond Oak Capital Advisors LLC, found herself among 225,000 unemployed finance workers that year as the subprime market collapsed. “If I were a tall, broad shouldered, gray-haired, 50-year- old man with the same credentials, nobody would have suggested I take a job for less than one eighth of my salary,” said Grillo in a telephone interview from her home in Queens, New York City.
2) The fail rate of the venerable CFA exams
Dismayed by friends’ suggestions that she quit finance, Grillo vowed to help more women join the industry, setting a goal of raising the proportion of women Chartered Financial Analysts to 50 percent from the current 19 percent. “I’m a CFA charterholder and I always look women right in the face and tell them that if I did it, they can do it as well…I wanted those letters after my name so badly,” she said. “If it took me 80 years, it was going to say, ‘Sara Grillo, CFA’ on my tombstone.”
3) Cheapskate boyfriends who apparently deserve to be called out in publications read by millions of people.
Grillo said she and her boyfriend were faced with a choice between a platinum, gold or silver engagement ring. He said he didn’t care which one she chose so long as it was the cheapest. Grillo did care, so she dumped him and invested the money for the wedding in Commercial Metals Co. a small-cap stock that made her as much as 300 percent in profit.

Investing the wedding money in smallcaps after your ass gets dumped is the NKI.
Quite a nose.
Is she related to Jimmy Durante?
my read on the boyfriend: commodities trader at jefferies
Looks like someone needs to put Baby back in the corner.
btw – work in a bar!? with that face, working on tips may not be best career choice..
Don’t you just hate articles when every answer given is just a backhanded way of bragging about themselves? These answers are all not universally applicable, just rather make herself feel good by making herself believe she’s “giving back”…disgusting.
The receptionist at the Edward Jones in Encino could tell you to work in a bar.
Living in queens like the rest of the hedge fun community is the new killing it?
Ha cha cha cha cha!
The idea of her giving a BJ with that thing seems like a miracle of nature
Maybe instead of getting CFAs, more women should go to business school where they can meet a nice husband.
What’s so bad about working in a bar anyway? Bartenders at PJ Clarke’s make >$200k…
Being an ugly broad with a CFA is the new tall, broad shouldered, gray-haired, 50-year- old man.
yes, such a breezy life, that of a 70 year old bartender
Ugly *single* broad with a CFA
If she gets them certificated, the Commerical Metals shares will keep her warm on those cold, lonely winter nights.
WTF. I personally see women that are 8.0s or lower as men. So much for “females trying to break into a male-dominated field”.
Dougie at PJ’s on 55th/3rd is no 70 year old and probably gets more tail than any five people on this post combined– just sayin’
which relative at bloomberg deemed her newsworthy?
It just seems like there’s still light coming in from under the door.
With that face I would be surprised even if she had a checking account. She must be really good.
Two employees and five Chinese interns is the original killing it.
Meeting a nice husband is the NKI
Why in god’s name would anyone get a CFA when the financial services industry is shrinking faster than my dick after seeing this bitch’s face?
Excuse me miss, why are you giving me the worst head ever in the middle of the conference room? Because I’m a Jewish CFA, obviously.
who cares about this broad; the Booberies are out!!
I’d bang her eight ways to Sunday for a 300% return.
~guy who likes banging broads eight ways to Sunday
Mrs. Doug would be upset to hear about this. Especially since he’s also Doug the dad… Let’s not blow his spot up, mmkay?
“I’m athletic and I eat well and I don’t have any wrinkles or grey hair,” she said. “It’s a huge problem in finance because I go to these meetings and I really stand out. It’s difficult for me to get credibility and to build trust because I look like a teenage girl.”
Ok….
Bloomie hires interns, children and morons ————————* the more you know.

What a dumb thing for her to say.

Post Script: Its still moving
Read my post towards the top Extra-O!
I go to meetings naked, and they are all dressing me with their eyes.
Damn that’s fast…
My bad; been a few years since I was regularly hanging late-night at PJs (apparently >5).
Lights off after 25 beers?
No one who went to Harvard should feel the need to get a CFA
“You don’t need that CFA, Sara! Now let me teach you about brown paper bags.”
Nothing says credibility like a beer gut and bloodshot eyes! I personally never trust my money to anyone who doesn’t have at least 10 broken veins in their nose–only a really successful money manager could pay for decades of coke and alcohol abuse.
When I saw your picture I became more intelligent. So there’s that.
I went to harvard, and i am. should i not?
The CFA exams test accounting, corporate finance, portfolio theory- one is unlikely to learn much of this as an undergrad at H. Ec1723 is a great class; not too many people take it though.
-another Harvard alum with the CFA charter
wow, insulting a woman’s looks…
You guys are a class act.
She kind of earned it when she started bragging about her (nonexistent) good looks. You don’t hear stories of me running around talking about how big my dong is. Because it’s not.
She’s works at a start-up fund of fund analysis company. Her goal in life is to be a CFA. She was dumped by her fiance who didn’t care about her ring. She’s quite unattractive but thinks she’s hot.
Does she have any conceivable reason for even getting up in the morning?
Really good & cheap food around Queens.
And my guess is that she also has to pee in the mornings.
dude you’re such a piece of shi_.
and make a poo poo every now and then
But a funny one
FTW!
FTW!
“If I were a tall, broad shouldered, gray-haired, 50-year- old man with the same credentials, nobody would have suggested I take a job for less than one eighth of my salary,”
Um, if you were unemployed, your salary was zero. Just sayin’
it is a predominantly webiste, is it not?
My typo. It is a predminantly male wesbsite, is it not? Don’t like it, don’t come back.
A HFM lives is Queens?
You have to applaud her efforts on behalf of other women, but the self promotion is a bit much. Apparently, given the experience of the vast multitudes of laid off folks in the financial industry, it never led her to doubt that she may have been chosen for reasons having nothing to do with her recent degree and recent CFA certification. If she were that broad shouldered man she mentioned, she would be unemployed now.

Is this really an article?
Does it look like an article?
Kitten Mittons would have been a better investment
This is a good picture compared to her Linkedin profile. I puked a little bit in my mouth!
Funny!!!!
Haahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Yeah, They have to!
Hhahahahahaha
Dude, she is Ugly!!! And a real shitty personality who all about herself!
No, you are the woman is an idiot!!
Geez, Guest you’re just fool of snappy come-backs!!! Comparable to a three year-old.
The sad truth is that the hoi polloi are more impressed by haircuts, makeup and clothes than they are by smarts, ability and qualifications.
Which, I suppose, is how Sarah Palin very nearly became the country’s second-in-command.

Pantless Pete. You Fucking Fool!!! Sarah Palin is ten times more smarter then some Heartless Harvard Slob. Who does not look like she even has enough brains to wipe her ass!! Inttelligence is measured by how you keep yourself. Self promoting white-nigger who thinks they are smarter then the rest of the world. Is nothing more then stupid fool. Who can’t even be an adult enough to groom themselves. You sound like shithead voted for that fool in WhiteHouse now. You see . Palin and McCain were right!!!
Oh, and By the way Pantsless!! Sarah P. does not have extraordinary looks. She just looks Human!!! Which is more then I can say for Hilary or BIll !!! OR Obama !!! And I noticed something on Wall Street. Slobs who have no etiquete who look like they just walked out of twelve step programs who look are getting the jobs.Just because they said they went to an IVY League. I guess you and Ms, CFA are they shape of things to come. NO DISCRETION OF HYGIENE. I am not worried though the algae will probably eat away at you both before you can cause any real damage,
Mikebat; off of the top of my head, I can think of at least 4 reasons you’ve been unable to find a proper job in this country: 1) Bad grammar. 2) Terrible spelling. 3) Weak overall command of the English language. 4) Poor manners.
And that’s all without even meeting you. Sucks to be you, doesn’t it?
Perhaps you should spend less time criticizing others, and instead invest the time in addressing your own many many shortcomings.
Normally, I would not even bother to respond. But i have to!! Out of Principal of course!!!
Criticize youself bitch. Because what kind of filthy disgusting Moron worries about Grammer/Punctuation when responding to a mindless Blog posting like this, about an ugly filthy ,uneducated, loser from Harvard. Who has a jackoff , loser , shit-head, douche-bag, dumbass, fuck-face as one of her cronies. But I couldn’t resist!!!
Let me continue my criticism of you and your shortcomings. I know you take it up the ass from Rahm while sucking Obama’s dick!! You can get pissed as much as you want and respond with every obnoxious thing you can think of. But God help you!!!! It Sucks tobe you!! Doesn’t it! You will get yours! It always happens!!!! And you are nothing more then walking dead!!! And soon you will be nothing but flesh and meat for RATS!!!!
Have a Good Weekend. I hope you be able to collecting your next welfare check!!!
Don’t worry get pissed abuse me up and down. There is something fundametally wrong and unsound wwith you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this living corpse who thinks she looks like teenager!!! But then again maybe you and she are one of the same!!!
Bottom Line IS!!!!!
Call me what you want! You still Suck!!!!!!
The bottom line, Mikebat, is that not only is your grammar very very poor, you can’t even *spell* grammar.
A few years of ESL classes would do wonders for your job prospects here.
That woman is a bitch and looks very horrible. I don’t know what she think about herself.
She’s a fool!!!
Douche bag
NakedShort, I am quite sure you’ve never had a BJ.
I bet you anything her dick is bigger than yours you ignorant fuck.

Really? You’re going the ugly route? If I had to guess, I’d suspect that you’re hardly a prize to admire….
I saw your profile and I did the same thing…swear.
you guys are poision, so is she I think
Were not, but I think she has been posioned! That’s why she is so bitter!!
Bottom line. Fuck-up! Is your Idea of ESL is the bilingual program. I am sure Mommy and Daddy are very proud of you. That’s why they enjoy proofreading your blogs to this ludicrous blog!!!!
You money guys are haters and seem to do a terrific job of hating. Guess that’s what you get when you are limp rodded belly busting blithering boy who could never stand up to any red blooded human face to face. You are trust funded autistic children – doing the work of banking kleptomaniactic oligarchs – are whining about who your suicidal business conduct is done with? Either enjoy the sword through your soul or try understanding where the lifeblood your are sucking came from and see if you can live up to what it means to be accountable. But paying this much attention to this cutie is for F’in losers.
A Cutie?!!
Well, it looks like you just wrote down what your parents called you earlier yesterday.
But it appears that you have been smoking a lot of crack!!!!!
This article is meant as a mini biography about an interesting individual working in the industry. I have had the opportunity to meet Sara and I would say she is very lovely and open. One would have to wonder what could posses a person to take the time to not only read through the article but also write something derogatory in response. Sort of makes you wonder what’s going on with that person, and what kind of issues they’re having that creates a need inside them to take time out of their day to insult someone they never met.
Self-Promotion will not get you anywhere!!!
Who the hell are you?
It’s obvious what’s going on with that Sara Grillo woman. She couldn’t find someone in the real world so she sought solace in the investment world. She couldn’t orgasm the normal way, so she made herself learn to orgasm by watching a few stocks increase in price.
Also, what kind of idiot works so hard to get a CFA charter. That charter is a joke. If a person has to spend more than a few months studying for each level, he/she shouldn’t waste his/her time in the industry.
