BACKGROUND: Glenn Hank Greenberg graduated from Yale University, and received a master’s in literature from New York University and an MBA from Columbia University.

He co-founded Chieftain Capital Management, renamed Brave Warrior Advisors in 2010 when the partners split up.
ISSUES:
EDUCATION & YOUTH: Prior to his finance career, Greenberg was a teacher. Education is a clear interest of this funder, including international education. Linda studied at the Sorbonne and was a Fulbright scholar. Greenberg supports his alma mater Yale University including its Yale World Fellows Program, “an international fellowship program for mid-career emerging leaders who have distinguished themselves in their profession, discipline, or geographic region.”
Other grantees include Posse Foundation, The Brick Church School, Classroom Inc., Bronxville School, Ursuline Academy, Columbia Business School, and Trinity School.
HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES: Grantees have included Seattle Children’s Hospital, Robin Hood Foundation, New York Presbyterian, and Dubin Breast Center.
ARTS & CULTURE: The couple has supported Film Society of Lincoln Center, Ridgefield Playhouse, and Central Park Conservancy, among others.
OTHER: Supported has gone to Facing History and Ourselves and North Salem Open Land Foundation.
LOOKING FORWARD: Expect the couple to stick with their select interest areas for now.
