On Aug. 24, Poets&Quants published its annual list of MBAs to Watch, featuring high-potential MBA graduates ready to make a mark in their industries. Elliot Smith, MBA ’24 was named as one of the Poets&Quants MBAs to watch.

Wayne Hutchison, managing director of the program, said, “Elliot is a trailblazer, developing and scaling his business endeavor while continuing to succeed academically in the MBA program at a high level. While other students have pursued entrepreneurial endeavors during their MBA years, Elliot has brilliantly managed both pursuits while leading our entrepreneurship student organization and supporting our curricular expansions in entrepreneurship. For the first time, the Broad MBA has a concentration in entrepreneurship, rich in the academic skills that can provide depth to a new startup. Elliot’s insights into the entrepreneurial journey were a key piece in realizing this new opportunity for our students.

Elliot will be an outstanding business leader, and we are thankful for having had the chance to support him on his path. His success will provide inspiration to our future entrepreneurs in residence, and we look forward to future collaborations!”
