Michael Wright

When you know Michael, you know our values.

Michael Wright is from a sports town. And not just any sports town…one that has a legacy of winning.

Raised and educated in Boston, he grew up with family who supported his love for sports. “They were at every game,” says Michael, “cheering me on.”

He kept that love for sports and for his home city. After graduating from a local college, Michael set out to make a path in the industry. “I always knew I wanted to work on Wall Street,” he claims. “I just didn’t know in what capacity. But I loved the dynamic and competitive nature of the space.”

After graduation, he worked briefly at another firm, before taking an opportunity to join Canaccord Genuity’s team in Boston, where he now is a Director on the Equity Capital Markets desk, advising and executing on client financings. “Everyone here wants to win,” says Michael. “Everyone is approachable, respects each other and wants to be a great team member. You just don’t find that everywhere.”

Now a father of two little girls, Michael is busy at work and after work. He still loves sports, especially golf. 

And that love and passion for competition and success will undoubtedly be handed down to his daughters.

Like his journey thus far in life, Michael’s work philosophy is also pretty straightforward. “Work hard every day. Make yourself indispensable. Take your role seriously and do the most that you can.”

That’s pretty good advice. And coming from a great team player who’s used to winning, makes it even better.
