Yale School of Management - Adam M. Blumenthal '89

"When I was at SOM, the school had emerged as a successful experiment in an alternative approach to executive education. The ’83-’84 timeframe was an exciting time to be at the school; I recall great energy from both the Faculty and student body at the time. I had come from a very structured environment – investment banking M&A – and as such appreciated the opportunity to mold my curriculum and to take classes at several of the University’s schools. The finance theory, portfolio theory, marketing, and organizational behavior classes I take with me even to this day."
