Oscar L Tang

Now retired, Tang co‐founded the asset management firm Reich & Tang in 1970 in New York. After the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing, he teamed up with the architect I.M. Pei, the cellist Yo-Yo Ma and others to establish the Committee of 100, a Chinese American leadership organization for advancing dialogues between the United States and China. Born in Shanghai, Tang was sent to school in America at age 11, after his family fled from China to Hong Kong during the Communist revolution in 1948. He attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., Yale University and Harvard Business School, the third generation in his family to be educated in the United States. Tang also serves as a co-chairman of the New York Philharmonic.
