Connor Edward Coady

United States Army, 6 years, 5 mos

Columbia Business School- MBA

Connor is a proud native of Winchester, Massachusetts. He graduated from Villanova University in 2018 and, following a strong family tradition of military service, enlisted in the United States Army that same year. He served with distinction in 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, as a Non-Commissioned Officer and Infantry Team Leader. During his 6.5 years of service, Connor deployed three times overseas.

Connor transitioned out of the Army in April 2025, and worked as an Electrical and Plumbing Trade Manager at Apex Service Partners. This summer, he will begin his MBA at Columbia Business School. He plans to pursue a career in management consulting, where he intends to apply the leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills developed in the Ranger Regiment to help organizations solve complex challenges.

Connor is deeply grateful to the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation for awarding him the scholarship and for their generous, ongoing support.
