From Wall Street Power to Yale

Before leading the Yale School of Management as dean, Jeffrey Garten was a top executive at the now-infamous Lehman Brothers. He successfully navigated both the elite corridors of Wall Street and the highest levels of government.

Garten served as the Undersecretary of Commerce during the Clinton administration, shaping international trade policy at the highest level. After his government stint, he dedicated two decades to academic leadership at Yale. His diverse resume bridges the gap between high-stakes global finance and elite business education. He remains a unique voice on how global markets interact with public policy.
