I have been selected to write a business school case about Computer Warehouse, a Nigerian IT consulting firm. Along with an all-star team from Columbia Business School (featuring two Nigerians and a Czeck guy), I'll be heading to Lagos in mid-January to collect data and conduct a series of interviews with stakeholders.
Stay tuned for updates on this exciting opportunity.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad paid us a visit at Columbia a few weeks ago. Our chancellor Lee Bollinger ripped him a new one.
Here are my picture's from the event.
The huge screen set-up outside for those of who didn't get into the main hall.
We got front row seats outside though!

I just completed my MBA at Columbia Business School in New York City this Spring. Recently the blog has been focused on investing and doing business in Africa. I started it, however, when I got sick of mass e-mailing friends and family everytime something weird happened during the two years I worked in China. Check the archives and multimedia galleries (below) to find lots of great stories, pictures, and videos from travels in the U.S., China, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, Kenya and other parts of the world.
