We asked the alumni below celebrating a birthday today, May 16, "Where are you now?"

Shenu Agarwal MBA ‘05

Homesickness, aging parents, and a business turnaround opportunity drove me back home to India in 2008. Currently Chief Executive Officer for tractors and farm equipment business at Escorts Limited—once blue chip, in-between struggled through very tough times, and today a vibrant and ambitiously growing engineering company in India.

Anthony Cassano MBA ‘06

After thirteen years in NY/NJ post-graduation, my wife Elizabeth (Fuqua partner) and I are excited to move back to NC. This time we are bringing our kids—Anthony Jr (10) and Emily Grace (8). I recently joined Charlotte-based private equity firm Ridgemont Equity Partners as Partner, responsible for Tech and Telecom investments.

Glen Hall MBA ‘94

I am currently loving life, living in Miami Beach with my loving wife of 19 years, Michelle Hall, with our two kids Leandra (16) and Maceo (12). I am still a travel nut, hitting Cuba, Panama, Britain, France, and Italy the last two summers with the family. At this time I am the Economic Development Manager for the City of Hallandale Beach.

Alex Kau MBA ‘18

We're currently living in the Greater Philadelphia area, specifically Malvern, PA. Along with my wife and two kids, we relocated back to the Northeast last year from Charlotte, NC. I'm serving as the VP of Finance North America for Eurofins Scientific (a Belgium-based lab company). We miss our Carolina Fuqua family, but have been warmly greeted by our Northeast Corridor family. Aside from our more than occasional Duke vs. UNC banter, my wife and I spend our free time chasing and being chased by our young children. Come this fall, we'll officially be outnumbered. We're excited to welcome a baby boy to our family in September!

Adrian Laight MBA ‘00

I am in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with my wife Veronica and my two daughters Victoria and Jacquie, developing my international business company; I am mainly engaged in the exporting of food products to USA, Latin America, and Europe.

Jorge Lopes MBA ‘01

Since graduation, I've been in the video game industry doing strategic advisory in Riot Games. About a year and a half ago I moved to Hong Kong to help Riot build its first international studio here.
