New England business schools produce success stories by the dozens, sending graduates to firms where they manage accounts valued well into nine or 10 figures, maybe higher.
For Michael Emenalo, Boston University Class of ’89, you’ll have to add another zero or two to get the scale of his latest venture.
As director of football for the Saudi Professional League, Emenalo has played a major role in the acquisition of high-profile players Karim Benzema, Riyad Mahrez, Neymar, et al. The Saudis have been throwing around numbers unheard-of in the sports world, offering Lionel Messi more than $1 billion before he settled on a move to Inter Miami.
