"With access to outstanding teachers...our students develop the advanced knowledge they need to become the entrepreneurial leaders of the future."
Pamela Winer Goldberg, (A77), Director of the Entrepreneurial Leadership Program

The Entrepreneurial Leadership Program at Tufts provides hands-on educational opportunities for students interested in founding their own companies or working in entrepreneurial environments. Through our connections to alumni in business and industry, ELP strives to benefit both students and the corporate community.

The program attracts top faculty, such as Robert J. Creeden, managing director of the Center for Innovative Ventures at Partners Healthcare and Jack Derby, former CEO of Mayer Electronics Corporation.

The Entrepreneurial Leadership Program has also created an Advisory Board comprised of Tufts alumni who have become successful entrepreneurs in the business world. These industry partners are both local, such as Granite State Plastics in Londonderry, NH – and global, such as One Equity Partners, an international firm which handles $5 billion of investments and commitments for JPMorgan Chase & Co. in direct private equity transactions.
