Mike Davis was running three successful startups from a rented office in Manhattan when he decided to pursue the MBA. Before co-founding the student lender MPOWER Financing, where he’s currently Chief Investment Officer, Davis founded more than a dozen startups, served as Director of Innovation and Strategy at Avon, and earned his MBA from INSEAD. He also graduated high school at the age of 14 and Purdue University at 19, and had an early career stint at Sapient. To call him a fast-track overachiever is an understatement.
