The Harbus: When people think about typical destinations for HBS students, a few cities come to mind: New York, San Francisco, London to name a few. But…Sacramento, California?
For an increasing number of HBSers, the capital city of the eighth largest economy in the world is becoming a coveted destination.
The reason? NBA All-Star, HBS case protagonist, and current Mayor Kevin Johnson.
Known across the globe for his twelve seasons as an acclaimed point guard for Phoenix Suns, Kevin Johnson has built and equally impressive resume since he retired in 2000. First nationally-acclaimed education reformer, now rising political star, Johnson has attracted seven HBS students to Sacramento since winning office in a 2008 landslide.
