Ed Gormbley '09

Edward is an entrepreneur with big-company skills and a start-up spirit. He started three companies before graduating from college. He then spent a decade in the fertile training ground of General Electric as a corporate finance professional and private equity investor, from which 3i (a FTSE-100 company) recruited him to be the CFO of its North American division. From there he founded Workforce Partners, a vertically integrated real estate company that serves the median income household with apartments under the IVE brand and the boutique hotels The Circle and HiHo.

Edward earned his MBA from Columbia Business School’s Executive MBA Program and his B.A., magna cum laude, in Sociology and Education from Boston University’s interdisciplinary University Professor’s Program. He and his wife have three kids, with whom he shares his love of Tae Kwon Do, boating, cycling, and reading.
