Graham Richmond has worked in business school admissions for more than 25 years. Early in his career, Graham joined the MBA admissions team at Wharton, where he vetted thousands of applications and helped to develop groundbreaking marketing initiatives using technology. Graham then left Wharton to found Clear Admit, where he and his colleagues created a leading MBA applicant community site and news outlet. Beyond creating innovative applicant-facing tools like Clear Admit’s LiveWire, Graham has also delivered projects on the institutional side of admissions, providing enrollment management services to business schools around the world. An expert in MBA admissions, Richmond is frequently called upon by leading media such as The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes, and The Washington Post to discuss trends in the field. He is also regularly invited to speak to admissions directors from leading MBA programs at the annual conference of the Graduate Management Admissions Council. Graham holds a BA from Swarthmore College and an MBA from the Wharton School.
Alex Brown has worked in the MBA admissions space since the early 1990s. After beginning his career as the Admissions Director at the University of Delaware, he moved on to become Senior Associate Director of Admissions at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania for seven years. During that time, he also taught in the professional development program for the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC). Brown has also taught digital marketing since 1997. He currently teaches for Emeritus.org and London Business School. He joined Clear Admit after his tenure at Wharton, and serves as an advisor for the company, its community manager and co-host for the popular Wire Taps podcast series. Brown has a passion for horses; he galloped horses for top racehorse trainers in the United States for a number of years, and became a vocal opponent of the horse slaughter trade. He used the knowledge he developed at Wharton, building the student-2-student community, to develop an online community of horse welfare advocates. Brown has also authored two horse racing related books, Greatness and Goodness: Barbaro and His Legacy, and a novel, Missionville. Brown holds a B.A. in Business Administration from Leeds Metropolitan University, and an MBA from the University of Delaware.
