From Investment Banking & Private Equity to Rogo 

Strib Walker has recently joined Rogo's Strategy & Operations team, bringing both sellside & buyside expertise from his two years at Morgan Stanley as an Analyst in the Financial Sponsors Group and two years at The Jordan Company (“TJC”) as an Associate on the Investment Team. Most recently, Strib was the Founding Generalist at Upfront, an AI-enabled home services marketplace.

Strib is a graduate of Princeton, where he graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. While there, he was also a four-year member and senior captain of the Men’s Varsity Lacrosse Team.

Q: What excites you the most about working at Rogo?

I would have been a power user of Rogo while in banking and private equity, but at the time, it never really occurred to me just how much leverage I could be getting from GenAI tooling. Once I joined the startup world and began using AI tools daily, I realized how helpful a finance-specific version would have been during my time at Morgan Stanley and TJC. Enter Rogo. Now, I can’t wait to show finance professionals all they can do with our platform.

Q: What's your favorite part of the Rogo platform?

I mostly focused on Supply Chain & Logistics at TJC, and the team was naturally interested in tracking broader freight market commentary on earnings calls. Summarizing that sentiment used to be a lengthy combination of finding the transcript, reading/re-reading, ctrl+f’ing, copy/pasting, drafting a doc or email, citing, and double checking…for every call.

With Rogo, what could have been hours of work is a ten second query (you can even create a shortcut). And because everything is fully auditable, I can still ensure accuracy and use my own judgment as someone familiar with the space. Rogo is the perfect starting point for so many tasks like this. 

Q: Tell us about what you like to do outside of work.

I’m typically trying to be outside as much as possible—whether that’s basketball, tennis, or just walking around the city. I also continue to be on the hunt for New York’s best chocolate chip cookie.
