CEO Daniel Milstein to lecture students on business success October 15th

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 7, 2009— As the CEO of one of Michigan’s most successful and rapidly-expanding companies, Daniel Milstein of Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group knows a thing or two about running a business. When approached by University of Michigan Professor Ramesh Garg, Milstein couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share with MBA students his journey through the business world and how he arrived at where he is today.

Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Milstein came to the U.S. in 1991 with only the change in his pocket. He holds a BA in Business Administration and an impressively long list of work experience.

“My work ethic has been the key to my success,” Milstein said. “I’ve always had the mentality to be proud of your work and love what you do—no matter what the job. Even if you’re flipping burgers, always do it to the best of your ability.”

Founded by Milstein in 2000, Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group of Ann Arbor MI has grown to over 280 employees at 12 local and 4 regional offices with an annual real estate loan volume of $1.1 Billion. Over the last three years alone the company has grown more than 700 percent and was named on the Inc. 500 list as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in America. But Milstein still does the same work he did back when the company was small—he writes loans. Milstein is the #1 loan originator in Michigan for nine years running and #3 in USA

“Our success as a company is a product of the aspirations and diligence of all our employees,” Milstein said.
