"Wharton was the pivotal experience in my professional career"
I remember marveling at how much bigger my
world had become, by virtue of the people I met at
Wharton. Being there raised my standards. When
you have to push a little harder because the person
next to you is a little smarter, or more experienced,
it makes you better. Being around the best and
brightest brings out your best.
Having an MBA from Wharton always reminds
me to keep the bar high. Regardless of what I set
as my own personal targets in business or life, the
fact that I went to Wharton reminds me daily of
the level at which I am capable of operating and
should always operate.
-Tony Stein, WG'90
President, Horizon Group
Wharton taught me to look at the whole picture,
all 360 degrees. Also, that it's not just the numbers
that are important, it's who the people are. One of
the greatest things I took with me was the skill of
understanding people and what they have to offer.
-Wendy Finerman, W'82
President, Wendy Finerman Productions, Feature Film
Producer
The thing I'm most grateful to Wharton for is
teaching me that passion and people and
experience are what it's all about. The people here
have such a variety of backgrounds, and they can
have so much impact on you if you trust them.
And that's what happened – I ended up trusting
my fellow classmates with the business I was
starting. I couldn't have done it without them.
-Brad Oberwager, WG'97
CEO, Open Webs, Inc.
How did Wharton make a difference?
Because of my experiences there, I took a
risky job that was rewarding beyond my
wildest dreams.

Former Principal, Neuberger & Berman, LLC.
