Before beginning his MBA, Benjamin Moskoff ’20 (MBA) co-founded a coffee company in his native South Africa. Owning a business while pursuing his MBA put him in the unique position to implement ideas from his Simon courses in real time—and see real-time results. Benjamin’s entrepreneurial spirit led him toward finance—a long-standing area of excellence for Simon. In addition to his coursework, he is also a member of the Simon School Venture Fund, which allows students to invest in small businesses looking for capital.

Everything he learned in class and co-curricular activities paid off: Benjamin is interning at Credit Suisse as an investment banking summer associate in the company’s retail and consumer sector.
