Hult Magazine Issue 6 | Page 3

MESSAGE FROM HULT WELCOME FROM SHAREENA HATTA If you had one word to describe a Hultian, what would it be? Over the past issues there have been numerous words that come to mind. But one that always stands out is ‘entrepreneurial’. So that’s where we’ve taken this issue and it’s the one I’m most proud of yet. We set out to find out who our Hult entrepreneurs are and what their businesses do with the goal of showcasing as many as possible. And, as the word got out, we started receiving an overwhelming number of submissions! So, while we’re able to showcase a large number of the companies here, the list definitely isn’t exhaustive. I encourage you to visit the Hult alumni site to find out more about each of these alums, their venture, and what they do. Our spotlights this month feature Kaushal Shah and Dr. Damien Dandelot. Kaushal’s journey to building a multi-billion dollar company is truly inspiring. His fellow classmate, Marco Gorin, now helms Aspire as they take it to the next phase of growth and they regularly meet with another classmate at least twice a year. 18 years after graduation, the bonds of Hult are still strong! Meanwhile despite Damien’s busy schedule, he was happy to take some time out to share just how he went from a military man to a consultant at Deloitte. If you’re looking for a strategy to transition in your career, Damian’s got the advice! Being in touch with all the alumni featured in this issue has got me even more excited for the Global Alumni Summit in June and I highly encourage you to attend! It really is the only time of the year when alumni from a wide range of graduating years and programs come together for two intense days of workshops, networking, and socializing. And what you get at the end of it is priceless—a shared experience that brings you closer to the Hult community, boosts pride in your alma mater, and strengthens your alumni network. So enjoy the magazine and see you at the summit! Where in the world?! Prove just how global our alumni community is by sending us a photo of yourself with a copy of the magazine wherever you are in the world: [email protected] Mariano Salvatore Vitiello Executive MBA Class of 2013 Lucerne, Switzerland Shareena Hatta Global Director of Alumni hult.edu/alumni 3
