About the Company
Manhattan Review’s origin can be traced directly to an Ivy-League MBA classroom in
1999. While lecturing on advanced quantitative subjects to MBAs at Columbia Business
School in New York City, Prof. Dr. Joern Meissner was asked by his students to assist
their friends, who were frustrated with conventional GMAT preparation options. He
started to create original lectures that focused on presenting the GMAT content in a
coherent and concise manner rather than a download of voluminous basic knowledge
interspersed with so-called “tricks." The new approach immediately proved highly pop-
ular with GMAT students, inspiring the birth of Manhattan Review. Over the past 15+
years, Manhattan Review has grown into a multi-national firm, focusing on GMAT, GRE,
LSAT, SAT, and TOEFL test prep and tutoring, along with business school, graduate
school and college admissions consulting, application advisory and essay editing ser-
vices.
About the Founder
Professor Joern Meissner, the founder and chairman of Manhattan Review has over
twenty-five years of teaching experience in undergraduate and graduate programs at
prestigious business schools in the USA, UK and Germany. He created the original
lectures, which are constantly updated by the Manhattan Review Team to reflect the
evolving nature of the GMAT GRE, LSAT, SAT, and TOEFL test prep and private tutoring.
Professor Meissner received his Ph.D. in Management Science from Graduate School of
Business at Columbia University (Columbia Business School) in New York City and is a
recognized authority in the area of Supply Chain Management (SCM), Dynamic Pricing
and Revenue Management. Currently, he holds the position of Full Professor of Sup-
ply Chain Management and Pricing Strategy at Kuehne Logistics University in Hamburg,
Germany. Professor Meissner is a passionate and enthusiastic teacher. He believes that
grasping an idea is only half of the fun; conveying it to others makes it whole. At
his previous position at Lancaster University Management School, he taught the MBA
Core course in Operations Management and originated three new MBA Electives: Ad-
vanced Decision Models, Supply Chain Management, and Revenue Management. He has
also lectured at the University of Hamburg, the Leipzig Graduate School of Management
(HHL), and the University of Mannheim. Professor Meissner offers a variety of Executive
Education courses aimed at business professionals, managers, leaders, and executives
who strive for professional and personal growth. He frequently advises companies
ranging from Fortune 500 companies to emerging start-ups on various issues related
to his research expertise. Please visit his academic homepage www.meiss.com for fur-
ther information.
