I also learned how to deal with multiple issues at the same time without losing focus on the big picture.” Victor Mabeia Mozambican Managing Partner, MainStreet Consulting Class of 2012 Note: Courses and sequencing are subject to change. Isabelle Lescent- Giles, PhD French & American Strategy & Family Business Professor Isabelle’s background is perfectly “Hult,” with her pure blend of academia and consulting weaving back over the last 20 years. She’s taught at Oxford University, the Sorbonne, NYU, and USF as well as held consulting roles in the U.S. and Paris. Isabelle says, “I learned the importance of frameworks at McKinsey. Without solid data, you lack credibility and you make major mistakes. In strategy and leadership, there is no right or wrong decision. You have to make a call based on a deep understanding of an organization’s values and resources and on new threats and opportunities in the external environment. I love watching students build a strong case for innovation and social impact and grow their confidence as decision makers.”
