96 Where will your Hult degree take you? Hult graduates are achieving great things with their entrepreneurial grit and reputation as globally-minded innovators. Collaborative, passionate, and determined, our alumni are not only your future network—they can be your inspiration. ALUMNI STORY Trader turned serial entrepreneur Colin’s latest venture is ethical, organic coffee company CRU Kafe. Distributed to over 20 countries worldwide, CRU has just become the coffee on board all short-haul British Airways flights. Why an MBA? I wanted to take myself out of the professional world for a year to figure out what I wanted to do for my next adventure. Hult’s global network really appealed to me. At Hult, you’re not a number but an individual with your own personal story and journey. You’ll build valuable relationships and skills for today’s global world. Colin Pyle Canadian Chairman & Founder, CRU Kafe Global One-Year MBA Class of 2012 What skills from Hult are you still using today? Definitely the social skills needed to work within a multicultural world. I manage people from many different backgrounds and Hult really helped me understand how to not only make a very diversified team work but to truly excel. And the network is still amazing, even all these years later.

Now she works for an NGO, managing efforts to halt the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis C in ten countries including Haiti, Indonesia, and parts of Africa. What made you choose an EMBA? Scientists often end up in senior management roles, yet a lot of us lack the necessary skillset. I wanted to improve my management skills so that I could become a great leader.
