Yale School of Management - Alumni Leaders

"Yale SOM introduced me to the best of modern finance theory, and enhanced my abilities to think, speak, and write about valuable new investment ideas -- and to influence the financial industry's largest investors. I've always enjoyed my work, even before Yale SOM, but now my ability to make a difference is in a different league entirely."
