Babson welcomed Jamie Siminoff ’99, H’21 back to campus last week for a fireside chat with President Stephen Spinelli Jr. MBA’92, PhD—part homecoming, part masterclass in entrepreneurial grit.

Reflecting on how Babson shaped his ability to adapt and persevere, Siminoff shared, “I’m not sure if Ring would have been where it is if I hadn’t learned some of the basics here to get me started on my journey.”
