Chris and Nyssa Lee

Chris 00C and Nyssa Lee established the Lee Family Scholarship in 2018. Reflecting on his experiences as a student, Chris recalls that Emory prepared him for a life of business and service to the community. He made life-long friendships, had an opportunity to join and lead a fraternity, enjoyed the diversity of thought associated with a first-class liberal arts education, and enjoyed the opportunities that come with living in a world class city. After Emory, Chris received his MBA from Harvard. He is currently a Partner at KKR where he is Co-President of KKR Real Estate. He also serves as a board member of SEO, an organization responsible for providing academic and career opportunities. Chris received his first internship on Wall Street through SEO in 1998. Chris and his wife, Nyssa, devote the majority of their philanthropic resources to expanding educational opportunity.
