MBA Alumni Voices
My Heller MBA not only prepared me for the complex management challenges of mission-driven organizations, but also offered me the unique opportunity to learn from an international community of like-minded, passionate and dedicated people. I can’t imagine being where I am today without Heller.

As a recent graduate from the Heller MBA program facing a very difficult economy, I have found jobs that allow me to utilize my MBA coursework and grow professionally. The Heller MBA prepared me for work that requires flexibility in tasks and pace. It also instilled in me a strong sense of working for the betterment of society. I never would have the opportunities that I do today if it were not for the Heller MBA.

While I loved my time at Heller, the full weight of the degree's value sunk in only once I left: No other school would have given me the high quality education and the community full of people focused on social justice. Heller was dynamic, challenging, and empowering. I can't imagine having gone anywhere else.

Program Manager at Public Partnerships
Heller gave me the tools, confidence, and exposure I needed to re-orient my career in the direction I am most passionate about: sustainability. I am now a key player in holding an industry accountable to social and environmental performance metrics by aligning economic, social, and environmental incentives in policy. As a project manager and social change leader, I find myself using the resources I gained at Heller every day.
