Cynthia Wharton serves as Associate Director and Internship Advisor for the French,
German and the Global (English Language) Track of the International MBA Program. Since joining
Moore School of Business in 2002, Cynthia has had responsibility for counseling students on matters
related to career development in international business, and for building and sustaining corporate
relationships. She regularly meets with companies in the US and overseas to discuss internship
opportunities related to business and economic trends, with focus on specific corporate needs.
Additionally, she directs relationships with several partner universities and other educational

she managed three transactions ranked “Deals of the Year” by Institutional Investor, two for the

During her financial career, Cynthia took two “sabbaticals” to assume management positions at
New York-based non-profits: with the Financial Services Volunteer Corps to organize high-level
financial and legal technical assistance for NIS-CEE countries in the 1990s, and with the Charles
H. Revson Foundation in its start-up year.
Ms. Wharton earned a Master of Public Affairs in Modernization and Development (economic
