Sloan Sponsors
"The Stanford Sloan Master's Program brings together talented students and educators in ways that test and develop the individual's limits. Of equal importance to us are the Sloan Fellows' acquired friendships, team experiences, and cultural understanding of other companies and countries. This knowledge enables the returning Sloan Fellows to help their companies thrive in this era of increasing competitiveness and globalization."
— Thomas J. Fitzmyers President, Simpson Manufacturing Company, Inc.
"When Tom Fitzmyers and Simpson Strong-Tie supported me by sending me to the Sloan Program, it was a major boost to my confidence. It let me know that they thought I was worth the investment. As a result, I will return to Simpson eager to share my learning and contribute to the success of the company."
— Kristin Lincoln, Sloan 'OO Marketing Manager, Simpson Strong-Tie Company, Inc.
