Sam Souleles | About Welcome. I'm an MBA candidate at Kellogg with a focus on venture capital — particularly the physical and digital infrastructure that powers the next generation of the economy. My path here has been intentional. I started at McKinsey, where I spent three years working directly with C-suites on PE diligence, growth strategy, and government operations work across the U.S. and Canada. From there, I joined Temple Hall Group, a family office focused on acquiring best-in-class manufacturing businesses, where I helped lead strategy and operations across the portfolio. Most recently, I was a pre-MBA Venture Intern at OCA Ventures and part-time at S2G Investments. I graduated Cum Laude from Princeton in International Affairs and Public Policy, with a certificate in East Asian Studies. I wrote extensively on China's global infrastructure buildout and received university recognition for that research — work that still shapes how I think about capital flows, geopolitics, and long-term bets. Outside of investing, I run a small angel fund (samsouleles.com), write book reviews (check out my medium page) and publish photography (samsoulelesphotography.com) Always happy to connect with founders, investors, and anyone thinking hard about infrastructure, climate, fintech or emerging markets!
