Adrian Alexander of New York

Adrian Alexander of New York, a distinguished figure in engineering and business, was born in 1946 in Bucharest, Romania. After emigrating to the United States in 1964, he faced significant personal challenges, including the death of his father just six months after their arrival. This adversity forced him to take on the dual roles of caregiver and breadwinner while pursuing his education. He earned a Master's in Electrical Engineering from NYU in 1970 and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1972, excelling academically despite his trials.

His professional journey began in investment banking, where he was recruited by Morgan Stanley & Co. straight out of Harvard. After three years, he transitioned to Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb as the VP of Mergers and Acquisitions.
