Great investors in history: Georges Doriot
Georges Doriot set out to encourage private sector investment in companies run by soldiers who were returning from the Second World War.
Georges Doriot was born in Paris in 1899. He briefly served as an officer in the French army during World War I, before finishing his degree in 1920. He moved to America to do an MBA at Harvard Business School. He dropped out after a year to work on Wall Street, but in 1925 returned to Harvard as an assistant dean.
