THE HULT EXECUTIVE “The Hult experience has allowed me to hone my leadership skills, striking the perfect balance between diplomacy and driving forward to get the job done.” Angela Slavens American Class of 2018 Current role: Founder & Managing Director, UniverSUL Consulting Language spoken: English Why Hult? It’s the professors that make Hult so special. Each one is able to give multiple practical examples to back up their theory, and many are able to magically transform the classroom into a real-world business environment, which greatly accelerates learning. I am able to walk away with tools and skills that I can immediately apply to my everyday life. I don’t know that I would get the same kind of immediately tangible results at a more traditional institution. How has the EMBA program benefited you? I am a chemical engineer with no formal business training, but I’d accumulated 20 years of on-the-job business experience. I started my own consulting company in 2014, so my main priority has been to learn the theory behind my practical experience, ensuring that I don’t have any blind spots as I develop and grow my company. What impact have you seen in your professional life so far? The Hult experience has allowed me to hone my leadership skills, striking the perfect balance between diplomacy and driving forward to get the job done. I have also walked away from nearly every course with a new idea, business model concept, or innovation opportunity for my industry. I’m currently moving forward with several of these concepts, including the development of a new digital platform. Hult is… a trusted companion on my journey as a student of life—it is my conduit to lifelong learning. 22
