I felt the only way I could gain perspective was to leave the firm so that I could rediscover what life without stress and a huge amount of pressure felt like. In 1994, Ms. Hanson launched Milestone Capital, which to this day remains the only female-owned investment advisory firm in the U.S. to specialize in liquidity management for institutional and high net worth investors. Ms Esposito helped Milestone form a strategic alliance with Bear Stearns. Completing the B-School roster is CBS 86 grad Janice Meehan, who for the last seven years has been Milestone s Director of Research. In l997, realizing the enormous power of the internet as a communications tool, Ms. Hanson founded 85 Broads, a network for current and former Goldman Sachs women professionals.
Membership is free and one s level within the firm, past or present, is irrelevant.
Today, Ms. Hanson is actively involved on the CBS campus. I hope that before long, the Board of Overseers will become as diverse as the school s own student population - which I truly believe is absolutely vital to the school s ongoing ability to attract the best and brightest pool of applicants in the future.
