Here are the mentors that participate in the Brandes RISE Mentorship Program. We’ve provided synopses of their professional background and Q&A to amplify the experience and motivation they will bring to program participants.

 

Jason DuMont

  • Research Associate

Jason DuMont is a Research Associate on the Health Care Team, primarily covering companies within the Pharma and Biotech industries. Prior to joining Brandes in 2023, Jason was a Research Analyst intern at GROW Funds LLC and Gateway Partners Inc. Jason earned his BBA in finance from Point Loma Nazarene University and his MS in finance from the University of San Diego, Knauss School of Business.

Q: What led you to volunteer for this program?
A: As a student I found it overwhelming to understand the different job opportunities and which jobs would complement my strengths and interests. Thankfully, I had multiple mentors to help me break down the industry and walk me through what career paths may be the best fit. I volunteered for this program because I want to provide that assistance for someone in the same position I was in as a student. I have experienced first-hand how impactful mentorship can be and look forward to sharing my experiences to make an impact on someone else’s career.
