Edward was raised in Springfield, Illinois and attended college at Arizona State University. He began his professional career in the executive search field at Integrated Management Resources in Tempe, Arizona. After excelling in a role as an executive recruiter, in 2006 he co-founded Comprehensive Recruiting. Mr. Storm ran the firm’s equities focused recruiting desk placing equity research analysts, investment bankers, and institutional sales professionals into a wide variety of hiring institutions ranging from bulge brackets firms to the top research and banking boutiques and start ups. His work placing analysts demanded that he develop strong relationships with growing hedge funds and long only funds as well . He became the firm’s top producing recruiter and expanded his practice to include placing individuals within the expert network consultant field. In 2015 Mr. Storm left his position and started a financial markets blog called Careerhedge.
