Alumni Perspective

EMBA alumni testimonials
Anthony J. Connelly, WG'00

“I began Wharton as a manager, became a director during the program, and was fortunate enough to become a vice president about a year after graduation. Since then I've served Disney in a variety of capacities and am now Chief Financial Officer of our Domestic Businesses for Disney's Parks and Resorts Segment. So clearly, I've enjoyed the financial benefits that go along with the career progression I've seen. However, more important, I think, is the personal growth my experience at Wharton brought. I see myself as a better-rounded and balanced individual today, and much of that has to do with my Wharton experience.”
