The military is one of the most diverse organizations in the world. It requires a diverse skill set and grit to be in the service and we learn just how easily veterans can translate those skills into the financial services industry.

In the next episode of our SIFMA DE&I Podcast series, we chat with Academy Securities Founder and CEO, Chance Mims on the nation’s first veteran-owned and operated firm and their commitment to recruiting and empowering military veterans. Chance shares insights on Academy Securities social mission to combat veteran unemployment including prioritizing female veterans and the focus to find nontraditional Wall Street pedigrees. He highlights how the industry can harness similar recruitment strategies by having veterans contribute to the entire process from interviewing to hiring to mentorship.
