BAMIT Alum Buys Pickleball Startup

MIT alumnus Stanley Anderson ’79 overcame a difficult childhood in inner-city Chicago to build a successful career in technology and business. He graduated from MIT with degrees in electrical engineering and humanities. He later earned an MBA from UC Berkeley and transitioned from engineering into business strategy, holding senior executive positions at companies including HP, Intel, Workday, and DXC Technology.

In 2023, Anderson purchased Costa Pickleball, a company specializing in high-performance paddles with distinctive designs. Drawing on his experience in marketing, brand-building, and business growth, he aims to differentiate the company in a competitive market. He is also developing quieter paddle technology that could address noise concerns in communities and provide a significant competitive advantage.
