STUDENT STORY
Kati Kallins
American
Sustainability Manager, Facebook
Class of 2017
What made you choose an MBA?
My background is in environmental policy. I needed
to speak the language of finance and marketing to
show that I’m a well-rounded business professional—
not just a specialist in sustainability.
What’s it like studying at Hult San Francisco?
There’s a lot of excitement here around launching
new ventures. San Francisco is the epicenter of
corporate citizenship, where making money and
making a difference in the world converge. Hult is
a supportive global community of business
professionals wanting to create the kind of world
we all want to live in.
What were your key takeaways from Hult?
Gaining a growth mindset has been invaluable.
Taking global electives was my favorite part of
Hult. Getting to study in two new countries with
colleagues who knew the language and culture was
such a benefit to my learning experience. Traveling
to China was a massive culture shock—I gained a
ton of cross-cultural business skills that I’m still
applying to my job today.
Any advice for future students?
Going into the program with a game plan of what
you hope to get out of the experience is key to your
success. There are so many great events on and
around campus, opportunities to travel and connect
with the broader network—having your end goal in
mind makes these opportunities even stronger.
