The Lang Center Advisory Board and the Lang Fund Board
Consisting of thought leaders with expertise spanning every industry and business stage, our Board members exemplify the diversity and entrepreneurial spirit of the Lang Center.
The Lang Center Advisory Board members provide valuable input into the development of programming, curricula, and resources for our students and alumni, while also serving as brand ambassadors in their respective ecosystems.
The Lang Fund Board makes investment decisions for the Eugene M. Lang Entrepreneurial Initiative Fund, which makes early-stage investments in a small number of qualifying Columbia Business School student businesses each year.
