Steve Foresti is a Senior Advisor, Investments, at Wilshire, where he has spent almost 30 years. He previously held a role as Chief Investment Officer, among other roles and is currently in a part-time role as he pursues other interests. Steve was recommended to us as a guest because of his extraordinary career arc in which he overcame a substantial loss of vision as a child to pursue a fulfilling career.
We begin by discussing Steve’s career journey and turn then to the nature of the condition that caused his loss of vision from the age of around 7 and his family’s coping strategy at that time. We hear about his parents’ efforts to ensure he was in the right educational stream and challenged at every opportunity. It was at this stage that it became clear how much setting the bar high and having high expectations mattered.
Taking this theme forward into his career, we hear about the colleague whose small gestures such as giving him a ride to work and allowing him to avoid a long commute made a massive difference to his quality of life, and then discuss the technological advances that have made impaired vision less of a hindrance in the work place.
