Our Vision
IBC2019
During a lounge talk session, BA Alumni Josephine Mankfu Talla, shared the stage with HBS’ CEO Dan Miodownik, who underlined the importance of finding new talents in the industry and nurturing them: “Empower the people who are starting a career: this is where we should be investing. Find the people, build their stories, and help create role models for all to be inspired by.”
