SANGEETA MARFATIA, 37
BBA ’91
Research Analyst/
Associate Director, UBS

As a Baruch student, Sangeeta Marfatia’s involvement with the Beta Alpha Psi honor society helped her in more ways than she expected. In addition to improving her self-esteem and networking skills (she served both as treasurer and president), she also inadvertently met, at an honor society function, the executive who would later interview her when she applied for a position at Deloitte.

She got the job.

After almost a decade at Deloitte, where she remained active in on-campus recruitment at Baruch, Marfatia, a CPA, moved to UBS. She currently covers closed-end mutual funds.

A native of India, Marfatia moved to New York when her father, a chef, was transferred. She enrolled at Baruch based on the reputation of its accounting department. And, she says, she would do it again in a heartbeat. She went on to earn an MBA from NYU in 1998, but Baruch is the school she talks about and where she maintains close relationships.

“I feel like I got so much more out of Baruch,” she says. “I’ve been back once or twice a year, every year. I haven’t been back to NYU once.”

Marfatia has an intern from Baruch working for her now. “I keep telling him how lucky he is to have this internship opportunity,” she says. “Back when I attended, none of the top firms came to recruit the way they do now.”
