Seeking analysts and associates
Meet Julia Medici
Senior Associate, U.S. REIT Team
“I have real impact.”
Julia Medici, Sr. associate, is an analyst on the U.S. REIT team. She started as an intern and then became a Sr. developer on the Data & Analytics team in IT, after creating code that is still in use today.
As one of their IT partners for over two years, Julia developed strong relationships with the U.S. REIT team and has since joined the team coordinating data needs, including running models and managing databases. Julia finds it gratifying that her work has a tangible impact on Cohen & Steers investment offerings. She also is motivated to influence the culture of the firm and is involved in the Diversity Alliance and the Women’s Exchange.
Julia’s New Year’s resolution was to explore a new street or neighborhood every weekend, so she is often out finding off the beaten track destinations in New York. She recommends to new employees, “Jump on all of the learning opportunities possible; I have learned so much from my manager that I will continue to benefit for years to come.”
