Love Patel

BIO

My name is Love Patel, and I am currently a Senior Investment Banking Analyst in the Diversified Industrials group at D.A. Davidson, based in Boston, MA. In this role, I assist clients on both buy-side and sell-side transactions, focusing on valuations, due diligence, marketing materials, and transaction structuring. Prior to this, I was an Investment Banking Analyst in the Technology, Media, and Telecom (TMT) group at Canaccord Genuity in New York, where I worked on high-profile deals, including sell-side processes and carve-outs, and collaborated closely with lean deal teams to deliver strategic solutions for clients.

I hold a Master of Science in Finance from Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management and a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Kansas. I pursued a career in investment banking to build the technical and strategic expertise needed to advise on complex transactions and drive value creation. I am always happy to discuss insights on navigating investment banking recruiting, day-to-day responsibilities, and transitioning from academic foundations to professional success, as well as sharing my experiences working in dynamic team environments.
