Eric Offei-Addo well. Offei-Addo, M.B.A. ’89, who currently is an executive director at Morgan Stanley, was born and raised in Ghana, a West African country known for its gold, cocoa and oil. His parents were both educators — his mother an elementary school teacher and his father a Presbyterian minister — which led his family to move around to different congregations. After finishing secondary school, Offei-Addo studied economics at the University of Ghana. He was still attending the university in 1982 when a coup d’état occurred within Ghana’s government. Offei-Addo was obligated to join a nationwide effort to perform voluntary work around the country to rebuild and recover.
