Bennett

Naomi Bennett leads Skolar's finance teaching and designed the Financial Acumen programme. She joined the academy in 2016 after eighteen years in capital markets and asset management, most recently as a portfolio manager in New York.

Naomi studied economics at Columbia University and completed an MBA at the Wharton School. Her teaching starts from the conviction that most finance courses for non-financial leaders are too simplified to be useful, and she builds every module around published accounts rather than illustrative examples.
