Two graduating MBA students from the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management have been named to the Poets&Quants “Best & Brightest MBAs” list that honours 100 of the world's most accomplished business students from the Class of 2021.

Caley Laxer and Andrea Poile were selected to the list by Poets&Quants, which received nominations from 68 of the world’s leading MBA programs.

Laxer, who has accepted a full-time position with Bain & Company, served as president of the Management Consulting Association.

“In a year like no other, Caley Laxer stepped up and her efforts helped contribute to an incredibly successful year for our students seeking jobs in consulting,” says Professor Joseph Milner, vice-dean, MBA programs. “Starting last summer and continuing throughout the year, Caley and her team produced more than 20 virtual events including multiple case prep boot camps, seminars on the basics of consulting, and lunch and learns on topics such as how to approach case and behavioural interviews.”

Poile held a number of student leadership roles, including vice-president with the Graduate Business Council and co-founder of Students Against Anti-Black Racism.

“Compassion, empathy, and a willingness to always see the best in others, the Rotman community has benefited enormously from Andrea Poile’s many contributions – in fact, every MBA program in the world would benefit from having an ‘Andie P’ in their class,” says Neel Joshi, Rotman's director, Office of Student Engagement.

Andrey Golubov, an assistant professor of finance at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, has been named one of the top 40 under 40 business school professors of 2020 by the website Poets&Quants.

More than 160 professors from business schools around the world were nominated for the eighth annual edition of the list. Finalists were rated on their research and teaching.

Golubov, who has taught “Mergers & Acquisitions” in the Rotman MBA program since 2016, is the only professor from a Canadian business school to make the list.

One of Golubov’s nominators noted that he “is an expert in mergers & acquisitions, bringing together practical knowledge with theory to produce top quality finance research. He is also a well-respected teacher who uses case-based teaching effectively to help students understand the mergers & acquisitions landscape, including market trends, deal execution, and valuation.”

Earlier this year, Golubov was the recipient of the Bank of Canada’s Governor’s Award, which provides financial support to academics who are recognized for their expertise and research in areas important to the Bank's core functions.
