Social innovation/Beyond profit

Below are profiles of our alumni in the social innovation and beyond profit sectors.

Nira Desai, Senior Director, Strategy & Learning, World Cocoa Foundation

“The Cambridge MBA helped me combine my past experiences into a path for the future. I was able to procure a summer consulting assignment with one of the best known brands for sustainability through a speaker we invited to Cambridge. That helped launch my experience in the sector and helped me land the job I have today.”

Paul Herbertson, Conservation Enterprise Director, Wild Philanthropy

“I wanted to broaden my international network and was looking for a school that would attract people from different sectors as I was keen to learn from peers as well as from the faculty.”

Chiara Kunnie, Business Development Manager, Praekelt.org

“The Cambridge MBA was particularly instrumental in sharpening my toolkit for the future, in respect of strategy, critical thinking and leadership. Going into a more senior role, I have leveraged new perspectives alongside strategic thinking skills that were shaped throughout the programme. The MBA also helped me to dream big: when you have a wealth of resources at your fingertips and you’re learning from and with collaborative classmates, anything seems possible!”
