Louise Francesconi, MBA 1978, retired president, missile division, Raytheon
It’s no surprise that Louise Francesconi’s favorite classes while at UCLA Anderson, then known as UCLA GSM, were those focusing on strategic
planning. In her role as president of Raytheon’s missile division, much of her job was based on looking at the big picture, making sense out of an
uncertain future and leading Raytheon accordingly. Ms. Francesconi led a team of over 11,000 employees at the world’s largest producer of missile
and missile defense systems. She had been in the defense industry for 30 years, and had accomplished much as the first nontechnical and the
youngest and first woman president in the business. With all of her accomplishments, it’s no surprise that Ms. Francesconi was named to Fortune’s
50 Most Powerful Women in Business for three years in a row. Ms. Francesconi had been part of the significant evolution of the defense industry over
the years. She began with Hughes 30 years ago in a finance role. At that time there were many employees with technical backgrounds at Hughes,
including her father, but not many with MBAs. She found that having her Anderson education helped her illustrate to her co-workers some of the
business impacts, like cash flow, on the decisions they were making. And she took just as much interest in learning about the technical side. Today,
Francesconi is a director of Stryker Corporation, a director of Global Solar Energy, a director of Tucson Electric Power and a director of UniSource
Energy.

of activities, including the establishment of the corporate identity, some of the first holiday logos and marketing activities and collateral. She also
product-managed the licensing of web search, site search and enterprise to Google’s first customers and was responsible for the initial development
of Google Image Search, Book Search and Video Search. Before joining Google, Ms. Wojcicki worked at Intel, and was a management consultant at

Alison Brown, MBA 1986, founder, Compass Records

Alison Brown combines her love of music and business as a musician and frontrunner of the Alison Brown Quartet and founder of the record label
Compass Records. She began playing the guitar at age 10 but soon moved to the banjo and began winning bluegrass competitions at 13. After
graduating from Harvard University and UCLA Anderson School of Management, Ms. Brown committed herself to business as an investment banker
at Smith Barney. She soon left I-banking to pursue a career as a musician, touring with Alison Krauss + Union Station Brown for three years and
lending a hand on Krauss’ Grammy-winning “I’ve Got That Old Feeling” album. In 1991, the International Bluegrass Music Association named Ms.
Brown banjo player of the year, sort of an Oscar of the bluegrass world. And in 2001, she shared a Grammy with Béla Fleck for Leaving Cottondale,
a wild ride of a bluegrass breakdown that solidified Ms. Brown as a world-class banjo player. Ms. Brown and her husband Garry West started Compass
Records in 1995. A musician-friendly roots label based in Nashville, Compass signs the kind of artists who don’t get the attention they deserve from
the major labels. Its marquee names include the legendary Irish singer Paul Brady, former Men at Work frontman Colin Hay, Australia’s The Waifs,
bassist Victor Wooten, Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze fame, the Irish band Lúnasa and Brown herself. When not touring with her band, Ms. Brown is in
charge of all of the financial affairs at Compass Records, and teaches as an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music.

CURRICULUM AND RESEARCH

Please provide information on any classes and concentrations that focus on issues related to women or minorities.
The Pursuit of Leadership: A Female Perspective
Offered at UCLA Anderson School of Management, the Pursuit of Leadership: A Female Perspective is a class that deals with issues ranging from
gender differences in management approaches to work/life balance. Taught by Jamie McCourt, vice chair and president of the Los Angeles Dodgers,
it is one of the most popular courses in the Anderson School curriculum, it is designed for women, but open to everybody.

“My goal for the course is pretty clear cut,” McCourt said. “I try to teach people to identify their skill set, to leverage it and to use their voice. I’m trying
to empower people.” And the roster of high-powered guest speakers that she invites to the classroom shows off that female might. They have included
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California; Gloria Steinem; Sherry Lansing; and Wallis Annenberg. “I like to cover the gamut,” McCourt said. “I’ll bring in a lot
of people, because I believe you shouldn’t model yourself after one person. You should be who you are.”

Management Development for Entrepreneurs Program (MDE)

As Alfred E. Osborne Jr. said, “To succeed in today’s turbulent economy, entrepreneurs must be able to seize opportunities and meet critical
challenges.” Even the savviest entrepreneur needs to redefine business goals and create innovative strategies to excel at new levels. This is particularly
true for entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds. The management development for entrepreneurs program supplements entrepreneurial vision with
entrepreneurial competence. The MDE program enables entrepreneurs to develop essential management skills, strengthen their ability to build and
manage effective and profitable organizations and access the greater UCLA Anderson alumni network. Alfred E. Osborne, founder of the MDE program,
was recently inducted into the Minority Business Hall of Fame and Museum.
