Forty Under 40 Winner 2015: Founder and CEO, Market One Media Group, 37
If Wall Street or Boiler Room is playing on a TV anywhere near Farhan Lalani, it’s going to be tough to drag him away from the screen.
Growing up in a family where the capital markets were frequent fodder for dinner-table discussions, the 37-year-old said it wasn’t long before he was addicted to any movie featuring brokers.
“That’s where my passion was,” said Lalani, the founder and CEO of Market One Media Group.
His parents, who arrived in Canada as refugees from Uganda in the 1970s, paid for private schooling when he was young and kept him inspired to pursue his passions later on in life.
He eventually turned that passion for broker films into a career in the markets during his 20s, first as an analyst and then as an investment adviser.
