Anjan is a very smart guy. He had probably the best academic record in the history of Lexington High up to that time, and was also a formidable debater (one of the top 10-20 in the country during our junior and senior years). Obviously, he has gone on to bigger and better things since then, including reaching a high position at Blackstone at a very young age. Anjan's political views and mine have always been substantially different; so his appointment doesn't do much to alleviate my fears that the Obama Administration and Democratic Congress will implement a major expansion of government. Nonetheless, I congratulate Anjan on the well-deserved honor, and wish him well.

  • Anjan is currently a managing director with the Blackstone Group, a major private equity firm.
  • He has received a BA from Harvard University where he graduated magna cum laude as a Harry S. Truman Scholar and an MBA from Harvard Business school.
  • He is also a director of Steifel Laboratories, one of his firm's investments.
  • Mukherjee also campaigned with Asian Americans for Obama.
  • Before joining Blackstone, he worked with Thomas H Lee Company and Morgan Stanley & Co.
  • He has been involved in the execution of a number of investments in a wide range of industries.
