There are many different factors that go into deciding what MBA programs a candidate should
apply to. While location, cost, reputation, and acceptance difficulty are certainly the major factors
that one should consider, many students would also like to know where many of today's most
successful business leaders got their MBA's from. Apart from individually searching one by one, it
is hard to find a resource to find out this information. For this reason, I've compiled a collection of
some of my favorite MBA business leaders and where they went to school.
With the current economic shake up on Wall Street an appropriate place to start is with Jamie
Dimon, President of JP Morgan Chase. Mr. Dimon was selected as one of Time Magazine's 100
Most Influential People and received his MBA from Harvard University. Staying with the same
theme, Dick Kovacevich, Chairman and CEO of Wells Fargo obtained his MBA from Stanford
University.
Laurence Fink, Chairman of BlackRock attended UCLA's Anderson School for his MBA and
keeping with the financial theme, Warren Buffet, 'The Oracle of Omaha' while not an MBA holder
did receive his MS in Economics at Columbia University back in a day when MBA's weren't as
common. Finally, Robert Edward Diamond Jr., the President of Barclay's received his Masters
from The University of Connecticut School of Business Administration.
Moving to the technology sector, no list would be complete without Meg Whitman, CEO of EBAY
and Harvard MBA holder. Other tech heavyweights include Paul Otellini, President and CEO of
Intel and Stanford MBA graduate. George David, Chairman of United Technologies went to The
University of Virginia's Darden School and Kevin B. Rollins, former CEO of Dell Computers
attended Brigham Young's Marriott School of Management for his MBA.
Those interested in the retail sector might be interested to know that Philip H. Knight of Nike fame
attended Stanford Business School, while Gregg W. Steinhafel of Target got his MBA from the
Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Jefferey Montie, the president of
Kellogg International (the cereal maker among other things) went to Ohio State for his Masters
and Indra K. Nooyi, a graduate of Yale University's School of Management is the President and
CEO of PepsiCo. Rounding out this sector, Muhtar Kent, the President and CEO of Coke obtained
his MBA in London at the Cass Business School.
If manufacturing, real estate or pharmaceuticals are up your ally, some of the biggest names in
these fields hold MBA's from prestigious institutions. Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka, while
not MBA holders, did attend The Wharton School of Business at The University of Pennsylvania.
Peter R. Dolan, Former CEO of Bristol-Myers Squibb received his MBA from Dartmouth's Tuck
School of Business while the current CEO, James M. Cornelius attended Michigan State
University's Broad School of Management. Alan Feldman, a University of Illinois MBA holder is
President, Chairman and CEO of Midas Corporation and Rick Wagoner, CEO of General Motors
received his MBA from Harvard. The University of Michigan has another prestigious alum in John
V. Faraci, Chairman of International Paper.
Finally, No list would be complete without some mention of those MBA holders that are also in
politics. The first and only President to hold an MBA, George W. Bush received his from Harvard
Business School while Jon Corzine, Governor of New Jersey attended the University of Chicago,
Booth School of Business.
