Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY Jamael graduated with Honors from Boys and Girls High School, and later attended SUNY University at Buffalo where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics.
He started in the banking industry in 2005 in a management training program for a small local bank in Manhattan, quickly getting promoted to Asst. The branch Manager then ran his own branch in 2007. During this time he discovered a passion for business banking and working with business owners in different stages of building their companies. In 2008 Jamael began his journey in Business Banking, working at several large institutions such as Santander (formerly ICB and Sovereign), Chase, Citibank, and Capital One Banks working with clients from $2MM to $20MM in revenue and lending up to $1MM.
Jamael is also co-founder of That Suits You, a not-for-profit organization helping young men obtain suits, shirts, and ties for job interviews. “I always had a passion for helping others which was instilled in me by my parents through our Christian faith, so I volunteered my Saturdays in high school to my neighborhood Boys club (mentoring young boys in the community)". His passion for mentoring continued during his time in college where he tutored at the local elementary school in Buffalo. Now a resident of Westchester County with his beautiful wife and two daughters, Jamael continues to return to his former schools speaking with elementary and high school students utilizing career days to encourage inner-city students to strive for greatness and beat the odds.
