An Entrepreneur's Origin

 

Fritz Demopoulos,'97, never forgot Anderson.

After graduating, Demopoulos took a huge risk when he turned down a lucrative offer in Europe and headed for Asia. Demopoulos later founded Qunar, China’s biggest online travel company, and Shawei, its largest web-based sports portal. Demopoulos says he built “amazing relationships” while in business school, including the lifelong friendships he forged with Professors Bill Cockrum and Al Osborne (now Anderson’s interim dean). Demopoulos found Osborne especially inspiring, often asking himself “What would Al be doing?”


He now wants to provide opportunities for others, as his own Anderson experience did for him. He has made significant gifts to UCLA Anderson, and created a student fellowship. Read more about Fritz Demopoulos ('97).
