Haas in New York City and Boston: Haas Alumni Make
Their Mark
Stuart Bernstein, BS 85
Managing Director and Partner
Financial Institutions Equity Markets Group
Goldman Sachs
New York
After graduating as a business major at Berkeley in
1985, Stuart Bernstein headed to Wall Street for the
financial analyst program with Goldman, Sachs &
Co. What this die-hard Californian thought would only
be a two-year stint in New York, however, turned into
an 18-year career. Bernstein has steadily risen through
the ranks at Goldman to become head of the financial
institutions capital markets group, managing director,
and partner. Along the way, he earned a joint MBA/MPA
(Master's in Public Administration) degree from
Harvard.
"I miss the great outdoors and my family on the
West Coast but also love being at the center of the
world of finance," Bernstein says. "It suits
my type-A personality." Such drive helped him
land his first position with Goldman back when no New
York investment banks recruited at Berkeley. Bernstein
keeps the flow going between the two coasts by serving
as a captain of the Haas recruiting effort and a sponsor
of the Haas case competition at his firm. "UC
Berkeley provides a strong undergraduate and graduate
education, and students who come out of Cal are consistently
better trained and work harder than those from some
of the other name-brand institutions. I'm proud
to be associated with the school."
