Former Students Networking at an Investment Bank on Park Avenue and Celebrating a Former Student’s Birthday in Herald Square

December 9, 2022 - Events

Celeste Guth (QC BA, Harvard MBA) invites my former students and me to PJT Partners on Park Avenue, where she is a partner. PJT Partners is an investment bank and a Blackstone Group subsidiary.

Ms. Guth held senior leadership positions (i.e., partner, vice-chairperson, board member, global head of mergers and acquisitions, etc.) at Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank before her current tenure at PJT Partners.

She is one of QC’s top serial prolific donors (i.e., an annual scholarship in her former mentor/professor’s name and other philanthropies supporting her alma mater).

The QC alumna shares many gems with my group. We are better for it.

Afterward, I jet off to Herald Square to celebrate a former student’s birthday.
