"Strategic thinking, teamwork and analytical rigor all come to mind when considering my time at Kellogg. But the concept that I have most effectively employed in my career has been Emotional Intelligence; respecting the desires and needs of others in order to achieve superior group outcomes."Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Harvest Volatility Management
"The team concept of finding people with different strengths and bringing them together to grow intellectually and economically is a concept Kellogg taught me, and I have relied on it throughout my business career."Chairman of the Board, Signature Bank
"At Kellogg, I learned how to combine the most sophisticated corporate finance concepts with real-world practicality. 30+ years into my career, I am still grateful for the solid grounding I received from Kellogg."Head of Research, Pericles Capital Advisors
"Even the best, well-thought-out business plan needs to adjust for market changes. My success in starting a fund came from my willingness to change the traditional model. Kellogg's collaborative learning environment taught me to listen to and learn from my peers — a skill I use to give potential investors the product they want."Hedge Fund Associate at Brookfield Investment Management, Inc
"The opportunity to test the classroom theories in experiential settings — where we dynamically discussed our analyses of good and bad investments, and challenged each other on our assumptions and biases — put me a step ahead in recruiting and career launch."Partner, Ares Management
"Kellogg was instrumental in laying the foundation for my professional development and growth as an investment professional. The strength and depth of the finance department was a critical factor in providing opportunities for intellectual exploration in pursuit of a career in private equity."
