MORE ON PHIL SATOW AND HAL ROBERTSON
“Phil and Hal have taken the facilities for Columbia Baseball to the top of the Ivy League,” noted head coach Brett Boretti. “Having a great facility is extremely important in the recruiting process and also in the everyday teaching capability of our staff. We now feel we have the best facility in order to teach our guys as best as we can.”
Satow played baseball, both in high school, where he captained the Erasmus Hall High team and at Columbia. He played second base on several excellent Lion teams, including the 1963 squad that won the Eastern/Ivy League title in a tie with Dartmouth and Navy.
“[The gift] was a natural fit,” Satow said. “I love Columbia. I have always been a supporter of Columbia Athletics. And I love baseball; it is one of the loves of my life.”
Satow graduated in 1963 with a degree in economics and entered Naval Officers Candidate School. He served four years as a naval officer, rising to the rank of lieutenant junior grade, the final two in Washington, D.C. While stationed there, he earned a masters in economics at Georgetown, and later spent 14 years at Pfizer, rising to Vice President, Pfizer Europe, and later moved on to Forest Laboratories, joining the firm when it was just a small concern. He became Forest's Executive Vice President for marketing and a member of its board, and then the President of Forest Pharmaceuticals.
He also founded a pharmaceutical company, JDS Pharmaceuticals, with his son Michael ‘88CC. “I started it with my son, we worked it together and sold it. It was the highlight of my career.”
Later, well after graduation, Satow became deeply involved in Columbia College alumni affairs, serving as president of the College alumni association, and on the Board of Visitors; his wife Donna is a 1965 General Studies alumna and two of his three children graduated from the College.
“We are all,” he says, “Columbia people.”
Robertson is a former two-sport student-athlete for Columbia. Not only was he a defensive back for the Lions’ football squad, he started at second base for the baseball team and served as Columbia’s co-captain during his senior year. As a sophomore, Robertson received All-Ivy League recognition after hitting .328 with 24 runs batted in and seven home runs in just 30 games. His seven home runs equaled Lou Gehrig’s 1923 total and ranked second in single-season school history at the time.
“I thought about how much the university has meant to me over the last 30 years and thought it was the right thing to do,” said Robertson of his leadership gift. “Columbia gave me my start to my professional career and this was an opportunity to give back.”
Robertson began his career as an industrial engineer in the food processing industry in Cincinnati after graduating in 1981 with a degree in industrial engineering. For the next several years, Robertson worked in the banking industry while he pursued a master’s in finance at the University of Cincinnati at night. Upon completion of his degree, he went on to work for a Fortune 200 company where he managed the corporate data center.
Two years after he began consulting in the banking industry, Robertson founded Methods Research, Inc. In addition to this company, he is also a majority owner of his own home building business, Heartwood Builders, LLC.
Hal and his wife, Katie, live in Cincinnati with their five children.
