Ram’s course of study at Wesleyan led him to pursue a wide array of coursework including quantitative methods in economics, entrepreneurship and economic development, money banking and financial markets, Chinese, and East Asian Art History. He plans to begin working at Deutsche Bank AG in New York as a full-time analyst upon graduating from Wesleyan University this year. At Wesleyan, he managed and arranged budgets for film productions and rose to be the chairman of a successful student-run investment group. He continues to serve as a mentor to younger group members.

A talented athlete, Ram also found success on the field playing for the Wesleyan men’s lacrosse team, which he went on to captain in 2010. As a Wesleyan Cardinal, he played in two NCAA tournaments, including the Final Four in 2007. In 2009, he was instrumental in the team’s victorious NECSAC Championship run.

Ram is a graduate of the Lawrenceville and Hotchkiss schools, and it was at Hotchkiss that he became interested in environmental stewardship. He carries that same interest to Birthright Earth, which will be crucial to his advisory role.

Ram joins us to help us better see it, understand it, love it, and save it.
