Why Hult? At Hult, there is a more practical approach
to business education, with a strong support from
peers, faculty, and staff. Some other universities are
so big that contact time with professors is near
impossible to get, whereas at Hult the professors and
staff know you by name.
How has Hult helped you to achieve your career
goals? I was looking for a practical way to elevate my
skillset. The entrepreneurial environment on campus
has taught me how to grow ideas into tangible
businesses. Also, the relationships we develop with
corporate clients help to boost our employability and
build our networks—which can be a real game
changer in business. The classes focus on what is
happening in business today and rising for tomorrow,
at both the global and domestic level.
How have your leadership skills developed at Hult?
I started and currently lead the Hult Founders Lab—
a startup incubation program that is designed to help
students from Hult launch their business ideas by the
time they graduate. To date, we have more than 70
founders in our program since we started in August
2016. Managing a global team of students is a tough
yet humbling experience.
Why London? The best thing about London is that it is
a business and culture hub. It has a thriving
entrepreneurial scene and studying business here
gives you access to connect with a range of
companies and startups.
