Hear from previous GBAM VAP participants:
Guillermo (Bill) Ravelo
(Associate, Americas Asset Management Services United States Army, Master Sergeant)
“My Veterans Associate Program experience was professionally life-changing. I met several colleagues and senior executives throughout the bank who not only made me feel welcomed but also ensured I was well-positioned to be impactful to the team. I chose to become a team member at Bank of America Merrill Lynch due to incredibly high quality of individuals and teams that I met. Only during my time as a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment had I met such a dynamic group who strive for excellence.”
John Humphreys
(Associate, Global Research – Airfreight, Surface & Marine Transportation Team United States Marine Corps, Captain)
” Bank of America/Merrill Lynch’s Veteran Associate Program is an opportunity to prove your military experience adds value to one of the world’s premier financial institutions. Similar to the military, VAP selects those who show the potential to be leaders. Those who earned a position in VAP, and invested as much in their future as the firm did in them, have begun careers in some of the most competitive and rewarding areas of finance with a firm committed to supporting its next generation of leaders.”
Marvin Robertson Jr.
(Portfolio Management Officer, Global Commercial Banking: Specialized Industries United States Army, Infantry Captain)
“Having left the military, the additional insight and counseling provided by the MSAG members (BofAML internal employee Military Support and Advocate Group) really helped with my fast transition from the military lifestyle to a corporate lifestyle. The bank has been tremendous in assisting me with translating my infantry leadership and austere environmental combat assignments into a language for corporate finance. I was proud of my military background and I wanted to transition into an organization as similar to it as possible and work with professionals who strive for success and are proud to be a part of the team.”
