Class of 1990 Since returning from Boston, Darmoni Badri has been busy in Indonesia in a variety of senior management roles. His latest position extends his global reach to South Korea, advising Knet Co. on the Indonesian market. Darmoni is looking forward to re-connecting with his former South Korean classmates, who he hopes will be a valuable source of information on matters related to doing business in South Korea. Class of 1996 Miriam Jacobs sent us the following about her life after graduation: “After graduating, I returned to my home country of Trinidad and Tobago. My first assignment was with Kairi Consultants Limited, a firm of development consultants. I worked on some very interesting projects including managing the first Caribbean Public/ Private Sector Trade Mission to South Africa in 1998. I left the firm in 1999 to establish my own business, Marketing Managers & Associates, of which I am the CEO and Principal Consultant. The company has now evolved to become a general business consulting company offering support to the government, private, and NGO sectors in business and organizational strategy, human resources, and policy development. One of our more notable assignments was assisting with the Government’s National Youth Policy. I would love to be more active in the Alumni Association and look forward to helping develop the Caribbean & Latin American Chapter for Hult.” 16 “ he same year I graduated, I was accepted onto T J&J’s International Recruitment development Program, which has been an amazing opportunity!” Class of 2006 After graduating, Chaya Murthy (MBA) started working as a Business Analyst at Bank of America.

Class of 2007 Alex Khazaradze sent us this update: “Since graduating I’ve been working at State Street as a project manager AVP at the Mutual Fund Administration. I then went on to complete the MSF program at Boston College. from which I graduated in 2009. That year in July, my son Vito was born and we moved back to Georgia, where I started to work in the Central Bank of Georgia’s Risk Management division as a Chief Specialist, where I’m still working now.” Kimmie Lim moved to Hong Kong and worked as a Product Specialist for Navitaire, the airline arm of Accenture, for a year. She writes: “I came back to Manila after that to help out in our family business (importing and wholesaling hardware tools). My responsibility has been growing steadily ever since—from taking care of the software used throughout the company to being involved with the handling of shipments, orders, and costing on the wholesale end and working with our various suppliers. Life’s not all work, though, and I’ve also taken time to travel around the country, especially the local beaches.” Alejandra Martinez is now working in Phoenix, Arizona: “After graduating from Hult my career changed completely. I started working in the technology industry for a social network site targeting the Hispanic market. That opened the door for me to get a job as Business Analyst in an international education company, I was in charge of liasing between IT and business users; this job introduced me to salesforce.com and I was designated as the admin. I worked with all departments, from sales to customer support, and after 3.5 years in this position, I was appointed a Senior Consultant for one of salesforce’s platinum partners (NTT Centerstance) and now I implement this CRM for other companies in different industries such as health, finance, etc. Among the things I do are: configuration, some development, project management, reporting, document requirements, training, etc. and all this from home!” Life is good as she also recently got engaged!
