We asked the alumni below, celebrating a birthday today, June 17, "Where are you now?" Here's what they said...

Kari Aiken MBA ‘96

I’ve been living in Bigfork, Montana, on Flathead Lake near Glacier National Park for the last 16 years. I’m General Partner at Eventyr Investments, a bit of a ski and hiking bum, and have two amazing daughters, Ilse, 11, and Ingrid, 8. My partner, Brian Jones, and I are founding a new company this summer, Valley Wide Restaurant Supply. With our extensive background in the restaurant industry, we are very excited for this new adventure in our lives.

David Arthur MBA ‘90

Since graduation, I spent 22+ years with Eli Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim before moving to Houston Texas to become CEO of Salarius Pharmaceuticals, a clinical stage oncology focused biotechnology company. This summer I'll celebrate 33 wonderful years of marriage to Ann. We both still love spending time together and spending time with our children. James lives in Dallas, TX, and is a Municipal Bond Trader and Underwriter specializing in Texas Specialty Districts. Elizabeth lives in Denver, CO, and is a Product Development Engineer specializing in medical device development. I continue to struggle at golf. To Fuqua Nation, be safe and stay safe.

Matthew Ganderson MBA '14

I live in Charlotte, NC, with my wife, Lisa (also Fuqua '14 alum), and our 1.5 year old son, Ezra. After making fun flavors of potato chips at Frito-Lay for a while, I decided to follow my passion for the MBA experience: I serve as the Director of the Wake Forest MBA Program for Working Professionals in Charlotte. Wishing everyone well, and I am still hoping to see many of my fellow Fuquans at the oft-postponed wedding of Fuqua Action News and Fuqua Hoops star Ross Milton.

Stella Gonzales Vigil MBA ‘12

After Fuqua, I left Durham to work at an asset management firm in NYC, and after 11 years, I can say I am still at the same firm and in the same city. After several positions, I am currently responsible for institutional sales in Peru, Central America, and the Caribbean. Also, last year I joined the leadership team at a non-profit organization named MBA Women Peru that aims to promote more Peruvian women to pursue an MBA at a top school like ours. Can’t wait for our 10-year reunion in 2022!

Henry Yonge MBA ‘16

After graduation, I moved to Luxembourg to work for Amazon in the European supply chain optimization team helping to solve the sourcing and distribution issues that arise when moving products across countries' borders. After two years in Luxembourg, I started a business development role in London with AWS where I focus on helping digital native companies accelerate their product development on AWS.  I'm lucky to have another Fuqua alumni based in Mannheim, Germany, who I get to see regularly.
