![]() ![]() What strategies did you use in your work to guarantee long-term success for your clients?ĪW: Curiously, the answer is actually in your question: focus on the long-term. ![]() LBS: You are a stellar analyst, with unparalleled, years-long experience in the Food and HPC sectors. I am hopeful that my practical experiences will make my course interesting and useful for the students at LBS. Without exception they told me that their favourite (and most useful) courses as part of the MBA programme were the those given by practitioners…not by academics. Over many years on Wall Street I had a number of team members who had been through MBA programmes, mostly in the US. That is what I love about the faculty at Lauder Business School…it is full of professionals, with years of experience in their fields, who bring this experience for the benefits of the students. LBS: What do you think the education in the business field lacks today, and how can this educational gap be closed, in your opinion?ĪW: Without any doubt, business education requires more pragmatic, real-life experience. I consider that teaching future business and community leaders at a high-quality Business School (like LBS) was absolutely the best way to achieve that goal. When I retired from Wall Street, I really wanted to find a way to pass on my accumulated knowledge and experience, and I also wanted to find a small and personal way to have a positive impact on our community and society. Secondly, I consider that I have been extremely lucky over my academic and professional career, being taught and/or mentored by some amazing people. Once again, this was once of the most enjoyable parts of the role to me. And the focus on “teaching” continued to my final professional role on Wall Street: Equity Analysts spend a lot of time sharing knowledge about their area of expertise (in my case, Consumer Staples companies) with investors, through numerous meetings, seminars and conferences. I worked in a small team developing and presenting new training courses for graduate recruits, and I found the work thrilling and very rewarding. It started with the first company I ever worked for, PricewaterhouseCoopers, where I was invited to work in the National Training Office in London. In most of my professional roles there has been a direct or indirect focus on teaching or the transfer of experience. Regarding the switch to teaching, there are two reasons really…įirstly, I have always had a passion for teaching. I am delighted and excited to be joining the faculty at Lauder Business School. What made you decide to make the switch to teaching?ĪW: Firstly, thank you for your very kind comments. Moreover, you´ve worked for years in cities that top the list as the most economically influential cities in the world. Wood, you´ve had an impressive career in international business and on Wall Street, and your career accomplishments are awe-inspiring for our students. Wood and get his thoughts on the current trends in business education, and his advice for the business students who want to follow a career in equity research and international business. ![]() Wood was recognized as the most successful ever European Equity Research Analyst in the 25-year history of Institutional Investor as part of their anniversary awards.
