Ron Blaylock (1978-1982)
 

A Georgetown education was an invitation to a world of possibilities for Ron Blaylock.

A reserve guard for four seasons, Blaylock played sparingly under coach John Thompson, but remained a competitor on and off the court. A 1981 internship on Wall Street led to a career after graduation in the financial sector, including senior positions at Paine Webber and Citigroup, before founding his own brokerage firm in 1993. By 2005, Blaylock & Company was recognized as the largest minority-owned investment banking firm in the US, having underwritten over $150 billion in securities.

Blaylock sold the company two years later and is the founder of GenNx360 Capital Partners, a private equity firm. Blaylock earned an MBA from NYU and currently sits on that school's board of trustees, as well as board positions with CarMax, Pfizer, W.R. Berkley, Inc., and Carnegie Hall.
