Spring Break
Stephen is an alumnus of HBS and is on the School's visiting committee. He came to visit class last Friday and we managed to catch up with him for a few minutes beforehand to ask him a few questions about the industry, his firm and his personal life.

Over the past 8 years, HBS Campus has turned into the gateway for the most prominent leaders in technology to connect with the leading business school students and professors from around the globe. Last weekend, over thousand attendees and about 150 speakers gathered at HBS to take part in Cyberposium 2003.
