Meet The Team – Aaron Soury: New York and Southern Connecticut Regions

 

Aaron, Where did you grow up?

I was born in the Bronx, NY in 1958. When I was one year old my family moved to New Rochelle, NY. I was raised there throughout my schooling and into my twenties.

Where did you study for college?

I went to Pace University and received a BBA with major concentrations in marketing and management.

What was the first job you had out of college? What was the most important lesson you learned there that has stuck with you for your entire professional career?

My first job out of college was in retail at Macy’s Executive Training Program. During my four years in college, I worked part time in one of the local stores. As I was approaching graduation, I had conversations with store management and selected Macy’s after exploring many options. After my retail experience, I went to the wholesale side and worked in the apparel industry for 10 years. I had an opportunity to put together a plan and run a food concession in an office building. It was a great experience writing and executing the business plan. I sold that business and went into the banking industry. I was in the banking field for 20 years, starting in the mortgage division and rising through the ranks to the last 12 years as Branch Manager. Throughout my career, I learned to work to the best of my ability.
