Even in tech, the majority of executives don't have Ivy League degrees. Some of them might have MBAs from good schools, but many went to ordinary colleges. I work in tech and in my entire reporting line, there is exactly 1 Ivy league graduate. Tim Cook went to Auburn (MBA at Duke). Satya Nadella went to Manipal Institute of Technology (then UW-Milwaukee, and later an MBA at UChicago Booth).

Tan (MIT, Harvard) Oracle - Safra A. Catz (UPenn) Adobe - Shantanu Narayen (Osmania University, Bowling Green State University, University of California, Berkeley) Cisco - Chuck Robbins (UNC)
- dgb23 4y agoThose are predominantly elite schools right?
- adamsmith143 4y agoCheck Linkedin, it's been a revelation for me. Filter by company and school and you will find hundreds of Ivy League+ types as Upper Level Management. Idk why one would only look at C-suite
- wenc 4y agoLook below C-Suite. There are actually relatively few Ivy League types if you take a larger sample across industries.
