Jacob Hoffstein

I’m a finance professional with over four years at Goldman Sachs, managing budgets and building data-driven solutions. After succeeding as a mathematics teacher, I’m now pivoting to healthcare finance. I bring analytical skills in Python, Tableau, and Excel, paired with a collaborative mindset from coaching and mentoring. I thrive on turning data into actionable outcomes and am passionate about process optimization. Relocating to Philadelphia in 2025, I’m excited to connect with professionals who value innovation and impact.

Over the course of my career, I have built a robust foundation in finance and education, blending analytical expertise with leadership and collaboration. At Goldman Sachs, I spent more than four years as an Associate in the Corporate Treasury Department (2014–2018), managing a $200 billion liquidity pool, developing risk models, and overseeing budget execution to optimize capital flow. Since 2022, I’ve thrived as an Upper School Mathematics and Investing Teacher at Greens Farms Academy, designing data-driven curricula and mentoring students in financial literacy. My coaching roles at Greens Farms, Vassar, and Smith Colleges further honed my ability to lead teams, strategize under pressure, and foster growth, preparing me to deliver impactful outcomes in dynamic settings.

My academic journey has equipped me with a strong blend of analytical and practical skills relevant to finance and problem-solving. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Amherst College in 2014 (GPA: 3.7/4.0), providing a solid grounding in financial principles and quantitative analysis. In 2020, I completed a Master of Science in Exercise & Sports Studies at Smith College (GPA: 3.8/4.0), where I deepened my understanding of data-driven performance optimization and leadership—skills I’ve since applied in educational and coaching contexts.
