Joey Manzinger

I am a former Square One success story and Chicago Booth graduate. In my pre-MBA career, I encountered a “quarter-life crisis.” My partnership with Square One took me on an introspective journey where I learned how to leverage my strengths as an applicant. Their approach put me at ease, and it sparked an interest in the MBA admissions process, which led me to pursue an Admissions Fellow role at Booth where I interviewed and evaluated applicants. In my Square One partnerships, I draw on my personal experience to generate the best possible results for my clients.

Before Booth, I worked as an auditor at Deloitte, serving clients in the manufacturing, real estate, and healthcare industries. My experience ranged from meeting with executives in Denmark to counting frozen hotdogs in a warehouse in rural North Carolina. I received a BS in Accounting and Business Administration from Washington and Lee University and a Masters in Accounting from the University of Virginia McIntire School of Commerce.

At Booth, I was involved with the Private Equity Group and CREDIT Club (private credit, turnaround, restructuring). I served as a Co-Chair of the Golf Club and Hockey Club. I currently work in a client facing role, specializing in CFO advisory.

In my free time, I enjoy playing golf, traveling, and exploring local restaurants in Chicago.
