Anatomy of a Breakthrough: How to Get Unstuck When It Matters Most

Adam Alter, Professor of Marketing

Through his generosity, insight, and passion for entrepreneurship, Stewart Satter (MBA '82) has steadily contributed to NYU Stern’s profile as a top business school for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Melissa Adeyemo (MBA ’16) counts her NYU Stern MBA as one of the top three formative experiences of her professional career.

Caroline O’Connor (MBA ’08), pictured left with Emilio Estefan at a Miami Marlins game, had her “aha moment” about her professional future while in her corporate finance class at NYU Stern.

One day earlier in her career, fashion executive Chana Rosenthal (MBA ’22) and colleagues spent the afternoon at a supplier’s denim factory in China reviewing products. That evening, washing up for dinner, she noticed blue fibers in her nostrils. The experience turned out to be seminal.

Last September, NYU Stern established the Chao-Hon Chen Institute for Global Real Estate Finance with a $20 million gift from Charles C.Y. Chen (MBA ’91) and named Professor Sam Chandan the Institute’s director.

Excellence, unbound by tradition, is a core value at NYU Stern and a favorite phrase of Undergraduate College Dean Robert Whitelaw. “An advantage we have at NYU is we don’t have a 400-year history; We’re not wedded to doing the things the way we used to do them,” he says.

 Master’s of Science in Business Analytics

On the 10th anniversary of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, Director Michael Posner spoke to STERN BUSINESS about how the field of business and human rights has evolved, in a world more connected than ever by technology.

As Charles C. Y. Chen (MBA ’91), Chairman of Eyon Holding Group and a member of Stern's Executive Board, described it, his $20 million gift to NYU Stern to create the Chao-Hon Chen Institute for Global Real Estate Finance was less a bolt from the blue than a serendipitous confluence of professional interest, generational friendship, and above all, a deep-seated family tradition of philanthropy.
