Neel Patel
Equities Options Trader & Manager, Summer Trading Internship Program
LEVERAGE OPPORTUNITY
Prosper alongside development-minded colleagues
In 2008, Patel was getting his feet wet as an intern. More than a decade later, the seasoned team member now trades at the equities desk, with stints on a handful of other teams along the way. Central to his growth has been a workforce that rewards the desire to improve and grow, put into practice via a formal education department and mentor program. “One of the founding tenets of Wolverine has been education,” Patel said.

The traders and managers who took the time to show me their role in the firm helped me develop into a well-rounded and effective trader down the road.
Ellie Kenny
Database Engineer
ENGINEER WHAT’S NEXT
Utilize tech to bolster operations
As a database engineer, Kenny helps steer data efforts across the company. Recently, to redesign the structures and processes involved with archiving a large amount of data, she leveraged SQL to overhaul tables to decrease downtime during the archive process. “A portion of my project was written to be flexible enough to be used in different business areas. In this way, we have also planned for future internal projects."

Aaron Kreke
Head Chef
WHIP UP SUCCESS
Find a home for indulging creative passions
Trading might be the pulse of the firm, but thanks to this 19-year-company veteran and his team, the kitchen gives it heart. Remote work hasn’t diluted the culinary culture, as Kreke and co. have posted recipes to the company website, like brisket chili and chicken shawarma, as they continue to develop their craft. “Hopefully, this time away will spark everyone’s creativity to come up with new ideas when we return,” he said.

The kitchen is ingrained into the culture here. It’s a space to grab a cup of coffee. A place where new employees are introduced to co-workers. Or, for some, a place to take a load off their mind.
