Haas Welcomes Belden Inc. CEO as Commencement Speaker
John Stroup, CEO of networking and connectivity giant Belden Inc., will speak at the Haas School of Business commencement ceremony for MBA students. Stroup is a Haas alumnus and has served as president and CEO of Belden since 2005. Belden Inc. is a $2.5 billion Fortune 1000 company that designs and manufactures cables, connectors, servers and routers.
The Haas School set a policy a few years ago to invite the school’s most distinguished alumni to speak at the commencement ceremonies to honor Berkeley-Haas alumni who have demonstrated innovative leadership and can speak to the benefits of Haas culture in their careers. The Full-Time and Evening and Weekend MBA commencement ceremony will be held May 22 at the Greek Theatre.
