With the addition of two new members, the Goizueta Alumni Board is positioned to make this year the most impactful yet.
Their backgrounds span B2C and B2B exposure and include wealth management, consulting, and manufacturing operations. Both bring a deep knowledge of business and energy to the strategic initiatives of the board, which includes student engagement and the alumni mentor program.
The alumni board welcomes:
Matthew Liebman 00BBA is founding partner and CEO at Amplius Wealth Advisors in Blue Bell, PA. His experience as a research analyst, portfolio manager, and hedge fund manager along with a deep knowledge of asset allocation theory and behavioral finance, provides a unique perspective for his clients as he guides them toward their financial goals.
Matt Sobieski 14EvMBA combines a wealth of experience from companies such as McKinsey & Company, Equifax, and Lockheed Martin in his current role as Vice President and Head of Operations at Interstate Cargo. In this capacity, he leads a team across 4 plants who manufacture vehicles for customers throughout the US. An intentional and strategic leader, he is passionate about continuous improvement, giving back, and helping people achieve their full potential.
The two alumni joined the board midsemester and are acclimating to their new roles.
“I have been very impressed by the passion and commitment of the board members to the Goizueta and broader Emory communities,” notes Liebman.
Indeed, the generosity of the board is no surprise to Lindsay Topping, managing senior director of Alumni Engagement. “The Goizueta Alumni Board not only share their expertise, stay connected to the school, and strengthen the Goizueta network, but they make a positive impact as well,” she says.
The group’s executive committee for the 2024-25 academic year is David Israel Mendez 15MBA, president; Ari Rollnick 97C 01MBA, vice president; Rashida Burnham 14MBA, secretary; and Jason Payton 12EvMBA, past president.
