Yale School of Management - Alumni Leaders

"There is no question that the Yale SOM environment heightens one’s sensibilities to the 'human factor' side of business dealings, and this has influenced my own approach and relationships with management teams and employees at the companies I work with. I believe this element of Yale SOM’s educational experience is unique among its peer schools, and is largely the result of the broad backgrounds of the incoming students, their maturity and diverse prior experiences."
