After Oxford University, Jamie McDonald spent 10 years on Wall Street, much of it working for Steve Cohen in New York as Partner and Portfolio Manager of then SAC Capital, now Point 72.

In 2014, he swapped trading screens for the small screen and began hosting travel shows for the likes of Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast, and also finance series for the Wall Street Journal, LSEG and Real Vision, amongst others. But it was in 2016 when chance made him auctioneer for the night, and he’s never looked back.

Jamie has spent the last 9 years raising millions for charities on stage all over America. Jamie currently lives in Manhattan with his wife and 2 daughters.
