Today, I’m joined by Peter Crawford, a seasoned executive from the Stanford MBA Class of 1995. As CFO at Charles Schwab for seven years, Peter was instrumental in growing the company’s client assets under management from $1 trillion to $10 trillion during his two decades of leadership. Now transitioning into retirement, he is focusing on board work, community service with the Boys & Girls Club of San Francisco, and personal passions like skiing and guitar.Joining us is Doug Phipps, a second-year MBA student from the Class of 2025. Doug is a social entrepreneur and educator with a background in theatre and teaching. He founded Student Productions, a peer-led theatre program in Washington, D.C., fostering creativity and connection among teenagers. At Stanford, Doug is pursuing a dual degree with the School of Education, focusing on innovative solutions for student engagement and addressing post-COVID learning loss while also leading in the Education Club.Peter and Doug offer distinct perspectives, contrasting the tech-driven excitement of the 1990s with today’s AI-powered, socially conscious business environment. Peter reflects on leadership, purpose-driven work, and building a client-first culture at Schwab. Doug discusses the evolving educational landscape, AI’s role in learning, and Stanford’s emphasis on sustainability and inclusion.Join the Podcast Series Stanford MBA: From Baby Boomer to Gen Z |  Class of ‘95 Meets Class of ‘25  Each of these episodes will feature a different pair of Stanford MBA people -- one from the class of 1995, and one from the class of 2025.  Remember to rate, review, and subscribe to stay connected with future episodes!📺 Also available on YouTube: Entire series playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSaVisoF0D_GKxVmHmakNxdpAJCb5_VTPMore info: https://www.katharinemclennan.com/ Contact: [email protected] Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katharinemclennan/
