[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally some good DMV (and GU) pride! Someone compiled the undergraduate schools of the leadership at what many consider the 15 top America-based private equity firms: Blackstone, KKR, Apollo Global Management, Carlyle Group, Neuberger Berman, Bain Capital, Ares Management, Oaktree Capital, TPG, Silver Lake, Vista Equity, Warburg Pincus, Thoma Bravo, Hellman & Friedman, and Advent International. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many Georgetown alumni are at the top ranks of these elite cos. Hoya Saxa!

[b]Final Tally and Conclusions[/b]:

Only 11 schools had multiple alumni as investment leaders in the top private equity firms:

UPenn (11)
Dartmouth (8)
Harvard (7)
Stanford (7)
Duke (6)
[b]Georgetown (5)[/b]
Yale (3)
Columbia (2)
Williams (2)
Claremont McKenna (2)
Wesleyan (2)[/quote]

To be fair, Carlyle Group having at least 1 Georgetown leader as an alum makes sense, the firm is literally the poster child for DC business and creates its edge through its political connections. David Rubenstein is probably the most influential and connected businessman in all of DC.[/quote]
