Forbes Taps Sivalingam ’10 as a “30 Under 30”

Ramanan Sivalingam ’10, vice president at Deutsche Bank, was named to Forbes magazine’s “30 under 30” list in finance—a young professional who is “influencing money flows in the global economy.” An economics and East Asian studies double major at Wesleyan, he continued his high school exploration of the Chinese language, as well as his burgeoning interest in the stock market, which soon became a passion. He began trading stocks independently and also took a leadership role in Wesleyan’s undergraduate investment group with Mike Levin ’09, who now works for the top-ranked auto research team at Deutsche Bank.

After graduation, Sivalingam accepted a position as a research analyst at Deutsche Bank. He was named as a rising star on Institutional Investors research rankings. Now in the sales group, the former Wesleyan lacrosse captain is, in his free time, producing an upcoming sports documentary about a former NCAA basketball star and NBA hopeful whose whose aspirations to play pro ball were compromised, after tearing his knee ligament in the final four. Additionally, Sivalingam sends a shoutout to his team: “Go Wesleyan lacrosse!”
