Goizueta BBA alumni, Jeffrey Schwartz 81BBA talks about his career and success in a recent Today article.
“There’s little glamor in the warehouse business, but it’s made Jeffrey Schwartz a very rich man and a bed partner with GIC
Jeffrey Schwartz leaves very little doubt that he is one very smart cookie. A graduate of Harvard Business School and first in his class at Emory University in 1981 with a Bachelor of Business Administration, he answers most questions without a moment’s hesitation and rattles off figures from the top of his head.
He is also Deputy Board Chairman and Chairman of the executive committee of Global Logistics Properties (GLP) — Asia’s largest warehouse space provider, whose biggest stakeholder is the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC).
