Ignacio (Andy) Bru, is a junior from Miami, FL majoring in Economics with minors in Business and Art History. Andy is involved in the Commodore Capital Group, Financial Development Program, Delta Sigma Pi, Financial Modeling Club, and Vanderbilt Finance Club. A favorite class of his is Special Topics - Contemporary Issues in Finance with Gary Kimball.

“The business minor has been instrumental in helping me explore my diverse interests within the financial industry and identify a career path that aligns with both my needs and strengths. The curriculum exposed me to unique job opportunities in niche markets that I’m excited to pursue this coming summer. On a personal level, I’ve also built valuable mentorship relationships with professors and upperclassmen, which have been crucial in guiding me toward my career aspirations.

Both Commodore Capital Group and Delta Sigma Pi have been pivotal in shaping my business knowledge and career perspective. Commodore Capital Group revealed the potential for a career in private markets right out of college and connected me with a community of peers who are dedicated to continuous learning. Meanwhile, Delta Sigma Pi taught me that success in the business world extends beyond financial acumen to include traits like friendship and personability. Through these organizations and the business minor, I’ve formed lifelong friendships with peers who inspire and challenge me to grow.”
