Siebel Scholars Announced

November, 2002

THEY WORKED FOR major consulting firms, managed election campaigns, lectured on Chinese painting, and enjoyed salsa dancing and vegetarian cooking. They also were recognized for outstanding academic work during their first year at the Business School by being named the 2003 Siebel Scholars.

The five MBA students, Eric Bannasch, Jim Edmunds, Jimmy Price, Sweta Sarnot, and Craig Yee, were selected by a faculty committee for their leadership and citizenship within the GSB community. The honor includes a tuition grant of $25,000 from the program, which was established by Siebel Systems in 2000.

Bannasch, who serves on the Stanford University Board of Trustees Development Committee, worked in the mergers and acquisitions group of Cisco Systems before entering the GSB and spent his summer at Viking Global Investors in New York.

Edmunds, chairman of the GSB’s I Have a Dream Program, spent the summer assisting Professor Jeremy Bulow in research on antitrust issues. He previously worked on Wall Street and managed a state representative’s reelection campaign in Texas.

Price has mentored local entrepreneurs and organized events for the Black Business Students’ Association. He has worked for major consulting firms and spent the summer as an associate of Oaktree Capital Management.

As a Stanford graduate student in industrial engineering, Sarnot was selected for the Asia-Pacific Scholars’ Program. While a consultant at McKinsey & Co., she participated in efforts to help her alma mater, the Indian Institute of Technology, define its strategic objectives. Sarnot’s most recent summer job was at Credit Suisse First Boston’s technology investment banking group in Palo Alto.

Yee cofounded the Living Well Project, a minority community-based HIV/AIDS organization, and worked for other nonprofits and consulting firms. He will lead the School’s 2002 study trip to China and has consulted to private organizations on collecting Chinese painting and calligraphy. He recently completed a summer internship at Mckinsey & Co. in New York.
