Reviews

Chief Portfolio Officer

October 2018 • Columbus, OH

“I like the collaborative environment at Ascent, allowing the team to grow and mutually learn from each other. In working with the Lending Team to create a new offering, it was very fulfilling for our team to see a project through from start to finish! Along the way, we encountered various challenges but it only drove us to adapt in order to continue helping our clients.”

Interim Chief of Staff

May 2020 - August 2020 • Columbus, OH

“The team is very collaborative and hands on helping to improve real lives and make an impact on the Columbus community! Being run by Ohio State undergraduate students, I have gained not only coworkers but friends that have made my time at OSU so much more fun and impactful.”
