Subject: Inquiry from Bonnie Parker – MBA ‘12
Dear Clyde,
I am a Columbia Business School MBA ‘12 and joined Morgan
Stanley’s medical investment banking practice right after
graduation, where I am currently a managing director.
After a decade plus of investment banking, I have just begun to
explore the concept of client side/in-house opportunities in the
pharmaceutical world. However, notwithstanding the work I’ve
done with 30+ clients over the years, I haven’t had the chance to
gain a true insider’s view of what corporate opportunities have to
offer and how my experience and skills may match up.
As a result, I thought it would be helpful to talk with some fellow
alumni in the pharmaceutical field. After scanning the Columbia
online network, I came across your name and was intrigued by
your experience at Lilly. I was hoping you might be willing to talk
with me briefly and share some of your insights and experiences.
If you have availability, I would very much appreciate the
opportunity to schedule something at your convenience. I’ll follow
up within the week to see if we can set up a mutually convenient
time to talk.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Bonnie
