The Executive Board

Klay Koehler - President

Hi! My name is Klay, and I am a sophomore in Wharton concentrating in Finance and Real Estate. I originally joined the M&A at Penn as part of the education committee. I found that the club not only serves as a great opportunity to explore the M&A space, but it also cultivates a community of likeminded and passionate students. I take great pride in knowing that the club has helped many of my peers learn and acquire skills that propel them towards professional success. Outside of of academic and professional life on campus, I enjoy playing the guitar, cooking new foods, and spending time outdoors. Please feel free to reach out via email at klaykoehler@gmail.com or connect with me on LinkedIn!

Hi, my name is Lauren Teuschl, and I am junior in Wharton studying Finance and Business Analytics. I have been on M&A at Penn since my sophomore fall, and the Corporate Outreach Chair since my junior spring. I have loved being able to connect Penn students with those in the M&A industry.

Anna Li - Treasury and Finance

Hi! My name is Anna. I am a freshman in Wharton studying Finance and Real Estate and am enthusiastic about leading the Treasury Committee of M&A at Penn. Through this club, I have met friends who share an interest in M&A and enjoy discussing case studies and recent deals. I like spending my free time running on the Schuylkill, painting and exhibiting art, and visiting national parks.


Pedro Gallino - Chair

Hey, I’m Pedro! I am currently a junior in Wharton studying finance and business analytics with a minor in mathematics. I joined M&A at Penn because M&A is a very pervasive topic that would be relevant to a plethora of future careers. I like that M&A at Penn allows me to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds, who all study different things.
