SG Cowen Case
Martin Street is in his second year of his MBA at Wharton University. Some of his strengths include strong leadership skills, the ability to articulate, and being disciplined. Having experienced the military, he must possess a strong mentality and is a confident character.

The two are at opposite extremes.
