Chase is appearing in San Francisco on January 20th 2014 to talk about revolutionizing industry and how she used technology to tap into the value in excess capacity.
On January 29th 2014 in London, Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever and Forbes’ ‘Person of the Year’ 2011, will conduct a talk on driving sustainable growth in order to double the size of one of the largest consumer goods companies in the world while having a positive social impact.
In Dubai, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, chairman and managing director of Biocon, India’s first billion-dollar biotech company, will give a talk on February 19th 2014 regarding the power of entrepreneurship and how her company evolved from a US$200 start-up into a global business. Shaw was named one of Forbes’ ‘100 Most Powerful Women’ in 2012 and also made her way onto the ‘TIME 100’ list 2013, TIME Magazine’s list of the world’s most influential people.
Last, but by no means least, is Arianna Huffington, founder of the Huffington Post Media Group and part of ‘TIME 100’ list of 2006 and 2011. Speaking in Boston on April 9th 2014, her talk will focus on how the company revolutionized the way we consume news as well as revealing what it took to create the world’s largest digital media company.
Dr Stephen Hodges, president of Hult International Business School said in a press release for the school, “As one of the world’s largest business schools, we are constantly looking for new ways to empower and inspire students and we recognize that visionary leaders, who have made a difference in today’s global business world, can do that.”
