Alumni Guest Speaker

Jorge E. Blasini Frontera

Class of 2019

Jorge Enrique Blasini Frontera ‘19 graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and a supplementary major in Political Science. At TASIS Dorado, he served as president of the Student Council, was a member of the National Honor Society, a student-athlete in the Cross Country and Track and Field teams, and a flutist in the school band. He graduated as the valedictorian of his class, was a National AP Scholar, and was awarded the Priscilla González Stubbe Leadership Award.

During his time at Notre Dame, Jorge showcased his leadership skills by working at the university’s student-led alumni relations organization, ND Listens, for all four years. In his final year, he took on the role of Senior Manager, leading the Statistics department of the organization. He also served as the treasurer of the Puerto Rican Student Association of Notre Dame, demonstrating his financial acumen. His commitment to his studies and extracurricular activities was further evident as a member of Beta Alpha Psi, the accounting honor society, and as a participant in the university’s annual halfmarathon dubbed the Holy Half.

Currently, Jorge works at Blackstone, an alternative investment manager in New York City, as a Finance Analyst in the Corporate Finance department. In July, he will finish his first rotation under the Infrastructure team and looks forward to working with the next business unit. He has also passed three of the four parts of the CPA exams and is hoping for good news in June.
