Building on AACSB's recently approved 2020 business accreditation standards (
) and a renewed focus on creating positive societal change, the organization is
honoring business school graduates who are using their business education for
impact in unique ways. This year's honorees include diversity and inclusion
advocates, social entrepreneurs, economic development experts, and healthcare
executives--showcasing the variety of career paths supported by business
education. The Influential Leaders initiative is one example of how business
education is Connected for Better (
).
"These honorees are a perfect example of business education in action," said
Caryn L. Beck-Dudley, AACSB president and CEO. "AACSB-accredited business
schools are committed to creating positive societal impact in a variety of
ways--and these alumni are demonstrating that business education is indeed a
force for good. We are inspired by their efforts and honored to recognize
them."
Now in its sixth year, AACSB's Influential Leaders honorees include nearly 250
business school graduates who have created lasting impact in business and
society. All honorees have earned an undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral
degree from one of the more than 880 AACSB-accredited business schools
worldwide. Support for the 2021 Influential Leaders initiative is provided by
Barco.
Each Influential Leader was nominated by their alma mater with inspiring
stories, demonstrating how the honorees lead and innovate within their
industries, contribute to their communities, and encourage future business
leaders. This year's class represents AACSB-accredited business schools in 15
countries, and the honorees have impacted many industries including education,
healthcare, technology, and sustainability. The unique stories of each honoree,
and how they are creating meaningful, lasting impact in the world, are
