Alumni & Board Member Story

Graham Brandt

10,000 Degrees Alum

Former Board Chair & Honorary Board Member
Vice President, Goldman Sachs
University of California, Los Angeles, 1999

“For more than 25 years, my family and I have supported 10,000 Degrees.”

“For more than 25 years, my family and I have supported 10,000 Degrees. One element has remained consistent: the passion that 10,000 Degrees displays for achieving educational equity and opportunity for the students they serve. That passion has had an unparalleled impact on our community.”

Graham is a proud 10,000 Degrees alum. After graduating from UCLA in 1999, he started his career in private wealth management at Goldman Sachs—excelling in his career there to this day, while being one of 10,000 Degrees’ top ambassadors. Motivated by the transformative impact of education in his life and a strong desire to pay it forward, Graham joined the 10,000 Degrees Board in 2005. He served for 10 years and became the second alum to chair the board. He was also a math tutor for the San Quentin Academic Peer Education Project, helping incarcerated men work toward their high school GED. He serves on the Scott Valley Swim & Tennis Club board. Graham and his wife, Talia, live in Mill Valley, and they have three children: Shay, Pierce, and Beckett.
