Participant Stories

I have 25 years of IT experience at companies including Apple, Dell, and Honeywell. In the last five years, I have been involved in corporate development work with investment bankers and private equity folks. Because I was coming into corporate finance as a tech expert, I took programs including Mergers and Acquisitions, Private Equity, Venture Capital, Distressed Asset Investing, and Wharton Finance for Executives to be able to communicate effectively with my peers. The programs opened my eyes to the universe of advanced corporate finance and to what happens upstream of me in terms of deal negotiations, sourcing, and founder experience. Wharton’s programs showed me how PE firms work, what motivates them, and what signifies a good deal. Completing the Advanced Finance Program has given me a much better understanding of how to recognize and preserve value as my firm scales in a Fortune 500 environment. This knowledge makes me a better business partner and helps me to arrive at more win-win outcomes."
