He also holds roles with Business Today's Executive Relations Team, Annex Capital Partners, Huo College Council, and Opus Chamber Music.

Henry's investing experience spans private equity and wealth management. He is an incoming Private Equity Intern at KFA, where he will source and pitch investment opportunities across education, sports, technology, and mental health, and advise portfolio companies on growth strategy. In summer 2026, he was a Summer Fellow at Factor Wealth Management, analyzing client portfolios and participating in consultations on private markets, estate planning, and tax-loss harvesting, and a Shadow Intern at Stifel Wealth Management, studying portfolio construction for high-net-worth clients.

His interest in the life sciences runs alongside his finance track: he spent a summer as a research assistant at the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center under Professor Kunle Odunsi, supporting oncology drug-development studies and ovarian cancer research, building on earlier research assistantships across two University of Chicago Chemistry labs in high school.

A National Merit Finalist and 4.0 GPA graduate of University of Chicago Laboratory High School, Henry was also selected for Professor John A. List's Summer Voltage Scholars Program in economics. As Vice President of his high school's Finance Club, he managed a $150,000 portfolio and led a value-investing curriculum.

Henry is also an accomplished violinist — a five-season Concertmaster of the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra's flagship ensemble and a three-time National YoungArts Competition winner. Moreover, he performed solo twice at the Carnegie Hall (debut at age 10 & 14). Outside of academics, he's an avid Liverpool FC fan who enjoys tennis, running, chess, and speaking Mandarin and some French.
