Alan Quasha Online

Alan Quasha, President of Quadrant Management Inc. – a global investment management firm – might be interested in business news in China, since that is one of the countries in which his firm has offices.  At present, the country is preparing for its upcoming “Expo Shanghai 2010.”  This is the first time a developed country will experience a World Exposition.  This is welcome news for companies such as the ones Alan Quasha are involved in (Quadrant and Vanterra Capital) since the event is set to give such businesses the opportunity to advance their partnerships with China and the country’s prominent companies.

Global Business Activist Alan Quasha

Given that Quadrant Management – the company Alan Quasha chairs – has offices in America, India, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and China, this exposition, set to last 184 days, could only be good for his business.  As well, it is hoped that such an expo will advance bilateral relations and trade between participating countries.

Given that Alan Quasha has been highly successful in both the world of academia and that of business, he might be a good person from whom to seek career advice.  He has indeed been asked to provide wisdom on this subject in various interviews over the years.  Young people just starting out basically want to ask Quasha, how did you do it?  How did you get to study business and law at Harvard and then go on to be in charge of extremely competitive financial firms, as well as find the time to dedicate to important causes?

Alan Quasha’s Theories for Success

The good news for those interested in potentially following in Quasha’s footsteps is that he believes passion to be the key.  It is no good doing something you don’t enjoy.  The first thing one should consider, is doing “something they’re passionate about.” The wealth aspect has to be a secondary factor.  If one acquiesces financial success from engaging in what they enjoy, then all well and good.  If not, then they need to accept that.  Alan Quasha realizes how important this theory is, and he believes young people will too, especially as they get older as “doing something you really like to do is a great way to fill the time you have.”  Alan Quasha also predicts that the world is beginning to change into a place in which “time is more relevant than money.”
